This evening I finished the model for the CSDR project we've been working on this quarter. All I need to do now is spray paint the buildings dark grey and attach them to the base. The glue is still kind of wet, so that has to wait until tomorrow.
There are three buildings arranged around a central courtyard, to meet all my program requirements. The closer one in this photo has a large display lobby for exhibits, some conference rooms, and the administrative offices for the program (in the low section in the middle). There's a huge theater/lecture hall off to the left of the building. The zig-zag roofs is eight units of housing, loft-style, for graduate students and faculty. Half the roofs have solar panels on them. The other building is laboratory space, classrooms, and offices. There's a cafeteria there, too, because this campus is located well away from the nearest campus food services.

Here are a couple of views of the entry courtyard, how students would access the center from the parking lots that are already nearby, or from the main road that goes to the area.
The housing, a little closer up. I added a piece of wood to fill in that big horrible gap after taking this picture.
The main courtyard. I need to design a fountain for this and make a model of the crane dolly system.
I also got all my plans and sections printed out today. I need to build a light study model, do some renderings, and some more analysis. Then I'm done!
