Summary

Our interior designs were inspired by both modern and vintage styles. We wanted to make it modern as our name is 21 Century Builders, but we also added a little of our original library. We kept the original shape and size of our current library and remodeled the interior. We design it like a full book only library were you can do research by textbook. Our Second library building is brought together with the original library building by an aquarium tunnel. Our Second building has two stories and the dome top makes a third story. Our first story in the second building is the technology room. There we have our printing station, and all of our technology equipment such as computers, ipads, and kindles. The second story is the presentation room, we noticed that when colleges come to give presentations in the library, it is always too noisy and crowded or when teachers want the students to give class presentations there is not enough room for everyone. We decided to put a television as a wall so that teachers can sign up to use the room; we also added a projector and many tables and chairs. Finally the dome will be used as a mini auditorium. Since we don’t have a specific auditorium location at Mira Loma we decided it would be neat to incorporate one into our designs. It would be a great space for rally’s and assemblies to take place in.
For our windows and glass walls we wanted to incorporate something that would save us money and most importantly energy. We found a company called Solar Innovations, Inc. that came up with the idea we were in search of, glass walls and windows with incorporated solar panels. This was called the Folding Glass Wall System. It had just been recently tested by Canada and British Columbia. We thought it would be a great opportunity to try it out here at Mira Loma. For our aquarium we would need to change the water three times a month in order to be able to save water in both our aquarium and garden we decided to make our garden with astro-turf and only take care and maintain real grass on the flower and tree areas. Our Aquarium will also be surrounded by solar panels that will rotate to where ever the sun hits and that way our aquarium will be safe from overheat and the overproduction of algae.
Also the goverment sources of revenue are going to come by the local agencies selling bond or getting grants to be able to fund money for this project. goverment oficcials have passed laws needed for green building requirements so that way we are actually saving energy and money and helping to conserve our planet.The most difficult codes that we have overcome are ADA requirements because it makes the structure of any wall or something to be removed to be able to be used for people with disabilities because they need space
