Defining the Problem
The problem I need to solve is to build the best design possible and that would make the most sense for the parameters James set.
Research
Brainstorm
I brainstormed what I wanted in my gym's design within the parameters I set for the size of the building.
Design
The first floor has a weight lifting room, a cafeteria type area and the Bathrooms/Locker Rooms. The second floor has a glass roof over the weight lifting room on the first floor, physical therapy room and a room for cardio with treadmills and ellipticals. I used Tinker Cad to design my gym and in my gym as soon as you walk in you see a front desk and then to your left you would see the restrooms and beyond that you would see the cafeteria. Once you are in the cafeteria to your right would be the 2 locker rooms and if at the entrance you took a right you would go to the weight lifting area. If you go in the weight lifting area to the right would be a set of stairs and if you looked straight up you would see a pane of glass. Once you get the second floor you would see a bunch of ellipticals and treadmills in a row at thee sides of the walls and in the middle and the back there is an area for physical therapy.
Overall
My original design seemed to become less and less efficient in the way of utilizing space and following covid guidelines. If I had to change anything I would add another floor and add an elevator to add more space and have it more open and allow it to follow Covid-19 Guidelines a little bit better.
