This is an image of the updated changes of our design. In this new design, we have eliminated the round walls at both of the entrances. As well, the second floor is no longer round. Another change that we made to the first floor is we added a lounge room, and added a desk for the librarian to check books out to people as well as allot a room for the librarian's office. In the second floor, we have added individual rooms for students to work on group projects or for meetings. The walkway around the elevator is another new addition. This walkway will allow the community and as well as students to look down to the second floor to see everyone around them. The media rooms have been designed to fit 36 computers, however, for more bookshelf space, we will eliminate one of the rooms. And of course, we added another storage room for textbooks.

We really like how detailed your design is. We suggest that you include some windows into your design. Are there any energy-efficient aspects to your design?

Modern Innovations,
We appreciate the compliment! Yes, we are adding a pleather of windows into our design. There are, in fact, energy-efficient aspects into our design. For example, just like in the movie on the museum with a living roof in San Francisco, our wall will be filled with used jean scraps for better insulation. We will be installing solar panels on the top of our building too. However, that list is not limited to just those two ways listed.

This is looking more and more interesting as you progress through the step. You can tell you've put a lot of thought into your work!
