| Below
are notes and photos from the September 30, 2003
job meeting and visit. |
| After
the meeting I surveyed the job site. The photos show
two differed aspects of the project. The first, the
actual space where the Executive Offices will be
- this area is now being used for construction staging;
the second, shots of the the public areas adjacent
to the Offices, and the main hallways and Entry.
These areas, in the beginning finish phase at the
time, constitute the surround of the
Executive Offices - and, while the Offices are functionally
different than the rest and will be treated so -
there has to be a logistical and aesthetic fit between
the two. |
| The
notations accompanying the photos reflect issues
and design decisions that I made as a consequence
of the meeting
and the site visit. These were reflected in plan
version 9.2 [link] distributed
October xx and 9.5 distributed October 28, 2003 [link]. |

| Cable
Trays - 9'-8" above slab. Where covered by the
the standard height
hung ceiling, they can remain as is.
The hung ceiling panels to be Baltic birch supplied
by AI - the
“Ts” to be painted the
same color as all structural and mechanical elements
above the 9 foot trim line [link].
The steel stud construction to the left is to be
removed. Entry #2 in background. |

| Large
beam - 13'-5" above slab at Column #5. Below
it the existing cable tray entry from the Food
Court area. This tray will
have
to be
raised until it is in the area that will have
the standard height hung ceiling. See notation
[link]. |
|
 |
| Large
beam at column #4 and small beam which is 13'-11" from
bottom to slab. The Cable trays at this point can
be reconfigured
to fit the requirements of the layout. In fact, mostly
eliminated as the feeds to the PODs can be accomplished
in the raised floor area surrounding them [link].
The concrete work is very good and can be left exposed
and painted. |

| This
duct, coming out of vertical air supply shaft,
turning and proceeding down the hallway toward
the Chapel requires that the 9 foot ceiling standard
be used over a portion of the Executive Office
space. This area is shown (shaded) in Plan version
9,2 [link]. |

This interface will be accomplished with the curved

Chapel
Room. The finishes of this room our close to the
standard AI palate. We can use this to establish
continuity between the Offices and the greater
space. |
