Vision Doc

Hi All,

Further to the meeting on Wed about the vision document we have set a deadline of 25th March for forming the new team. Can anybody who is interested in joining please post on the blog or email me.

Just to recap for those who were not here, the school project deadline is now 6th May. From that point onwards there are 3 options, the vision, the live project or a continuation of the school design. These will all be accessed and marked separately so there is now an incentive to get involved.

Vision Document

All,

The Vision document has been started as you all know but it still has a fair way to go. After a quick meet with Mark today i have renewed enthusiasm that it will be a good document! The editors so far have got the doc off the ground but now may be a good time for a shake up, if anybody wants to be more involved please come forward or if anybody does not want to be involved let me know.

One thing we have realized is that there is more to coordinating the document than anticipated, Jane and i have volunteered to co-ordinate the document as we have already designed the templates and started putting it together. It will be easier to ask you all for specific information, as and when we need it, then we are not doubling up or missing out on work. Is everybody OK with this?

We still need your input, if you have done anything that would be good in the document, sketches, site analysis drawings, photos etc, please post them and we will include them. Also please post any thoughts and comments for us on the blog.

We will have a chat about all this on wed.

Thanks guys,
Rachel

Live project

Could all of the people writing proposals for potential live project please email their idea and a breif summary (1-2 paragraphs) of their project by 6-7 pm Thursday night and I will print it and return to Mark. It would be good to have a minimum of 3!

Original Chilwell plans

Here are the photos of the original plans from the caretaker we took at the school. I think we was hoping to get actual scans of them, as they’re not amazing quality. Sorry was taking ages to put on here, so uploaded them to Photobox, here’s the link.

Chilwell Architect

This is a bit of a random entry, but . .
I heard that the ZCars unit were given a talk last thursday by an architect who had worked on Chilwell School. Im not sure whether it would be possible to get into contact with them, or whether it would be of any worth?

Chilwell Plans

Dear all,

I have spoken to Jimmy Morris at Chilwell School and he informed me that we have copied all of the available plans of the school a while back.

If anyone has any plans that have not yet been circulated on the blog could you please post them.

Thanks,

Matt

Does anyone know if the questionnaire (I assume the community groups questionnaire) has gone to the governing body - as per lizzies post below as it was mentioned that it was required for the 2nd March

Chris

Photos anyone?

Hi all,

I know you are all really busy but I would still like photos of your consultations if possible. I am giving a presentation in Manchester tomorrow so need some images by the end of the day.

Cheers

Survey Information

Hey everyone.

In order to complete the survey and conditions sections of the vision document, we still need to get all the photographs and information.
I havent got any from Group B
and need some more from groups C and E.

Particularly missing are photographs showing the current conditions of the building fabric.
we really need to get these as soon as possible for inclusion in the booklet.
