The height of the building is restricted to 40 feet. For every one parking there could be 3 occupants in the building with 20% variance. The parking areas need to be maximised as the city will determine the occupancy of the building based on parking available. The focus should be natural aeration with low energy consumption. The energy footprint of the building should be low while keeping the cost of construction/materials low to average. Ideally we would like to see some creative features, be it of any style (modern, contemporary, etc) that help bring some focal points and a polished touch to the areas in question. The building elevation facing the road (front side) needs to make use of 30-40% glass as per the city's requirement.

The skilled nursing will be a standalone business and also serve as one of the clinical sites for the nursing students. We would like to have a futuristic vocational school focussed on healthcare education with a focus on Nursing education in particular. The primary areas to design are conceptual drawing including floor plan, exterior elevations, site plan, landscaping plan, and site lighting photometric plan. To do so, simply slide the bar in the opacity adjustment (circled in red in the bottom picture below).The project is a vocational school, a skilled nursing and wellness center (Meditation, Yoga and plant diet preparation rooms etc). That is, you can fade it in and out so that you either see just the topo map, just the satellite image, or both simultaneously. One great feature of this layer is that you can change its opacity.

To make this a permanent addition, move the icon to the “My Places” folder just drag it over and drop it into “My Places.” When you first open the file, you will see a “NGS_Topo_US_2D” icon under the “Temporary Places” folder in the left-hand “Places” column. You need to take one more step, however, to ensure that this file remains available for future use. It will open automatically in Google Earth.ĥ) At this point, you’re essentially done and can begin zooming in and out on topo maps for the entire country. Google EarthThree shots of Tuckerman Ravine as the topo map is faded outĭid you know that you can overlay every available USGS topo map on Google Earth for free? And that you can set it up in a matter of minutes? Here’s how:ġ) Install Google Earth if you haven’t already.Ģ) Download the Google Earth topo map layer from the ArcGIS Services Directory (it’s the NGS Topo US 2D (MapServer) file).ģ) When prompted, save the file to your computer.Ĥ) Find and double-click the file.
