The next step was to take the blueprints to the building and sketch all of the components of the LSA building. We would typically do the building one floor at a time, in order to keep correlating information together with the sketches of the equipment. Some floors also required access to restricted areas, because of the presence of animal testing, and therefore we would do these floors all at once so that we would only need to obtain access a limited number of times. While we were sketching the placement of all of the nonstructural components in each lab, we would also take photographs of each of the labs in order to visually relate the blueprints to what the lab looked like in reality. This would aid the engineers in reading the blueprints we constructed. FIGURE 3. Sketching the Equipment in a Restricted Clean Room. 62

The data regarding the different types of machinery was transferred into an Excel ® spreadsheet. The information gathered for this database included the equipment name, model number, dimensions, approximate weight, and location. The sketches were transferred onto the blueprints again using AutoCAD ® . The different types of nonstructural components in the labs were divided up into three categories: furniture, equipment, and shelving. These categories were represented with three different colors of the blueprints to make the drawing easier to read and easier to identify specific components out of the database.
