Wiki+Deliverable+Rough+Draft


 * Wiki Deliverable Information:**
 * Background
 * Brief description of your needs assessment (i.e., who you talked to, extant data you reviewed, what you found, etc.)
 * Design concept and recommendations (description of how the space is organized and a vision of how it would be used; a list of equipment, seating, surfaces, fixtures, and other elements)
 * **The administrative desk will be combined with the student services desk and be moved to the center of the entrance. This will create a more welcoming environment as well as opening up floor space for transitional spaces to both the north and the south. **
 * Space #1 To the north of the central information center. Space will have two computers with touch screens, 6-8 chairs, coffee tables, and vending machine with water, and healthy snacks. Space is designed as transition area for parents and other visitors to learn more about SUHI itself as well as career paths that students may take after high school. The computers will feature programs in both Spanish and English (perhaps Tagalog) that show the SUHI campus, explores some of the campus programs, and details some of the achievements of both the school and it's graduates. The computers will also include programs for researching and applying for both 2 and 4 year colleges, as well as some of the possibilities for graduates of the ROP programs.
 * Space #2 To the south of the central information center. It will mirror area #1.
 * Space #3 To the north of the stairwell. This space will designed for students to prepare for their classes in a more informal setting than the library. The space will have will have a computer, a ceiling mounted projector, 6 chairs and 2 short tables (the chairs and tables will be on wheels). Students can configure the area to practice presentations, do group research, brainstorm, or whatever else they feel is needed.
 * Space #4 To the south of the stairwell. It will mirror area #3.
 * Space #5 To the west of the stairwell. The open space between the stairs and the west facing windows will be a small study area/lounge with 4 chairs, sofa, and 2 tables. Designed to be more informal. Lower windows will be slightly tinted to reduce glare and heat, but it will still be possible to look in from the outside so space is not completely private (for obvious reasons). Partitions will not be included as area is already secluded and students should not be allowed to completely hide themselves from view.
 * A rough floor plan indicating proposed locations for hardware and seating.
 * NOTE: The idea here is on the concept. Do not spend a lot of time with meticulous floor plans and blueprints. For instance, you could scan a hand drawn “bubble” sketch, or use a program such as Inspiration, PowerPoint, Visio, etc. to create your floor plan.
 * Design rationale, including references to literature and design principles.
 * A rough description of how you plan to assess the effectiveness of the space.


 * The learning spaces integrated into the main building at Sweetwater High will have a variety of uses and will require a diverse set of assessments. Among those that we plan to use are:
 * Sign-in sheets documents number and length of parent visits
 * Computer counts of information accessed by visitors
 * Number of college applications asked for and completed.
 * Observations of spaces 3-5 recording how and when students utilized the areas
 * Computer records showing type of information accessed
 * A link to your accompanying electronic presentation “pitch.”
