I had another good week at Architerra. For much of the time, I finished coloring the lower and upper floor plans. I then started on the roof plan, which is a lot harder because, when doing the shadowing, you need to take into consideration the peaks of the roof and that it's not just flat. Next week, I'll probably work on coloring the green roof, which will be very intricate. With photoshop, I'll be able to use a technique so it looks like there are a bunch of flowers on it.
In addition to coloring the floor plans, submittals for the Brooks Science Building and Architerra's project at UNH began coming in. Submittals are things like samples or shop drawings that are sent to the architect for approval. My job is to log these in, stating what date they came to the office, when they will be sent out to the engineer to review, and the description of what the actual submittal is of. After logging them in, I create a letter of transmittal that has the description of what was submitted. The submittals are sent to the architect with many copies, so I keep one for Architerra, stamp the rest with the date recieved, and send them off to the engineers.
On Thursday, a man came with samples of the seats that will be in the new lecture hall. I got to try all of them out and say which I liked best. On Friday, the four contractors that are bidding for the Brooks project came to look at drawings of the building and ask any questions they had about it. Ellen, another principle at the firm, printed out huge copies of the upper and lower floor plans I colored and hung them on the wall.
