Engineering Project
My Final Gym
Understanding the Problem
- 3D Modeling ( Tinkercad, 360 degree view)
- Location ( Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Property size and space)
- Modernization ( Public demand, Flexibility)
- Covid-19 guidelines ( 6ft, Restrictions, Cleaning supplies)
- Rehab ( Healthy, Safe)
- Strength ( Cardio, swim area)
Research
When doing my research there were many things I had to take into consideration. Like what James wanted in the gym, location of the gym, even Covid guidelines. So taking all that into account I made my gym design open concept so people wouldn't have to worry about getting crowded together, and also being able to stay separated from each other while working out. Also in my gym there are rooms for the cardio,
Brainstorming and Solution
First Floor- The first floor I sketched the pool, locker rooms with bathrooms, and also an open concept workout area. Also to get to the second floor I put an elevator for the handicapped and stairs.
Second Floor- Has open concept for working out, an open concept room, and 2 private rooms for cardio and rehab if needed. Same as first floor elevator and stairs to go to the first floor.
My Model
I made my model on Tinkercad and online 3D modeling website. In my modeling I have the main entrance with the pool to the right and the lobby to the left past the lobby is an open concept with any workout equipment of choice, or what is needed. Past the pool is the locker rooms with bathrooms. At the end of the first floor is the elevator for the handicap and stairs to get to the second floor. On the second floor leading from the stairs and elevator on the left is and open concept room and on the right is an open workout arena to put any workout equipment and also second floor bathrooms. Past that is 2 private rooms can be used for meeting, private instructors, also cardio and rehab. In the middle of those to rooms is storage area.
Iterating My Design
When making my first few sketches I realized there was a lot more I needed to do when I started modeling. Also there were some things I was iffy about when I starting to model. That is why I went with an open concept gym to follow Covid guidelines, but also put everything the James wanted in the design. I also took into consideration about handicap people wanting to be able to work out on both first and second floor. That is the reason for the elevator. This is why I made my gym around the things James wanted.
