James Develin Gym: Develin and Anagnost Rehabilitation and Gym
Thank you James Develin and Autodesk for making this design challenge possible. The name of this gym pays a tribute to James Develin and the current CEO of Autodesk, Andrew Anagnost. The building number (46) also represents James Develin's jersey number while on the New England Patriots. This gym was built using Tinkercad and contains elements that focus on environmental sustainability, COVID-19 safeties, rehabilitation, and fitness. The Develin and Anagnost Rehabilitation and Gym has a modular system on floors 1 and 3. This is a great use of space and money and sustainability.
Those with disabilities can also enjoy working out at this gym due to the features that are designed for them. These features include automatic doors, elevators, braille signs, and more!
Some shortcuts for Tinkercad on PC:

Don't be shy to leave comments if you have any questions! I hope you enjoy the Develin and Anagnost Rehabilitation and Gym!
1st Floor
This is the 1st floor of the gym. It holds the pool, water polo goals, changing rooms, restrooms, reception, laundry machine, and storage. The pool has at least 1 lifeguard (maximum of 2) attending the swimmers in the pool. All the 3 levels of the gym have an elevator. This is a great option if you are unable to use the stairs because of a disability or another reason. The 1st floor is also where the reception is. It is where you sign in before you enter the gym. For COVID-19 precautions, you are required to wear a mask and have your temperature taken. The receptionist will provide a temperature scan and a mask if you do not have one.
Pool
The pool features 6 lanes, where each rope that separates the lanes is held in place by a hook. This means that employees of the gym can remove the lanes of the pool and install the water polo nets, which will be in the next step. It is important to have modularity within any project to not only save money but also time. The pool lanes are made with a cylinder, as the rope, and 3 spheres per float. The pool hook was made by first making the hook. Make use of the hole feature in Tinkercad. You can make an object a "hole" and another a "solid". Group the "hole" part with the "solid" part. This feature takes away the material from the "solid" part. Once making the hooks, connect the hooks with the cylinder, bolted to the floor, using a ring.
Water Polo
These are the water polo nets, located on the side of the pool. These nets can be put in place when needed. As mentioned before, the pool is modular, so you don't need another pool to play a water polo game. The nets are built purely out of cubes. The water polo ball is built up of 1 yellow sphere and 4 thin and black cylinders that form a grid pattern on the ball.
Changing Rooms
The changing rooms are split into 2 sections, one for men, the other for women. The changing rooms have lockers, a towel, and rooms for the handicapped (specified by the handicap sign on the doors). You may notice that the lockers do not have locks. This is because the lockers can be claimed using a mobile app in the app store of your cellular device. You can lock and unlock the lockers using the app, however, there is a digital touchscreen on each set of lockers that allow you to claim lockers without an app (where the Autodesk logo is featured). The lockers are made up of boxes, where some boxes have had material cut away using the "hole" material feature. The towels are made by using the scribble block. Some parts of the changing room, such as the handicap sign, the mens' and womens' sign, and the Autodesk logo were made by downloading an image and then converting it to a .svg file, where you can then import it into Tinkercad.
Restrooms
The restroom layout is similar to the changing rooms. There is a men's and women's sign at the entrance of the restrooms. Each restroom has a handicap stall, marked by the handicap sign, sinks, and hand dryers. The sinks and hand dryers are activated using sensors, creating a contactless solution to help prevent the spread of viruses, like COVID. The toilet paper rolls are made from cylinders. The sink uses the "hole" material feature to create a bowl shape for the water to go down. The sink spout is made using the scribble block. The hand dryer is made from a box where cylinders shapes were removed from the box.
Laundry and Storage
The laundry machine is set to cycle after hours. People can drop off their towels directly into the laundry machine. Next to the laundry machine is the storage room. Currently, it holds toilet paper for the restrooms, however, anything can be put inside the storage room.
2nd Floor
The 2nd floor of the Develin and Anagnost Rehabilitation and Gym contains the main cardio and strength equipment. The transparent block on nearly all machines that have the Autodesk logo on it is a screen where people can watch videos or listen to music with headphones or earbuds. Earbuds are provided on the 1st floor reception if needed. Water fountains are located around this floor if needed. The water fountain also has a part where you can refill your water bottle, promoting reusable water bottles. The water fountains are positioned at different levels to ensure people at a variety of heights can access them. Reusable water bottles are available to purchase at the reception on the 1st floor if needed. Equipment is spaced out 6 feet apart to follow COVID-19 safety precautions.
Tredmill
Using many boxes both "solid" and "hole," the treadmill was created. The arrows on the treadmill adjust the incline (right arrows) and the speed (left arrows).
Stepper
This is the stepper machine, made from both boxes, cylinders, and scribble blocks. The stepper machine adjusts to your speed, meaning when you climb faster, the machine will automatically adjust its speed to yours.
Elliptical
The elliptical is made from mostly cylinders, with parts that are made from boxes and other materials. The mechanical system at the rear of the elliptical is 1/4th of a cylinder. The footpads are made from 2 roofs and a box in between. The rubber grip pads are also made from boxes.
Bike
The main body of the bike and the handlebars were all made using the scribble block. I believe the hardest parts of the bike are the pedals and the seat. The other parts of the bike are pretty intuitive by referencing these pictures. The pedals were boxes that had cylindrical parts removed from it. The bike seat was made using a roof, box, and a sphere.
Rowing Machine
The rowing machine is my favorite aerobic machine. The pedals and the fan are the most difficult to build in this machine. The pedals are built from a block, a cylinder, and a ring. The fan is made from 2 cylinders of different colors and boxes that were transformed and rotated.
Bench Press
The bench press ware created with a series of cylinders and boxes. The barbells allow you to adjust the weight of your press. What is shown currently is the max amount you can press.
Leg Press
The leg press uses the same barbell and weight that the bench press has. Like the bench press, the barbell weights can also be adjusted to suit the user. The leg press is made from boxes and a ring that has been cut in half.
Weight Racks
Made from both boxes and cylinders, the weight racks are where you can grab dumbells or barbells to customize your workout. Select your weights and start lifting!
3rd Floor
This is the 3rd and final floor of the gym. This area can house the most people because of its open design, featuring a football field, soccer field, and track. Because it can house so many people, it is necessary to leave benches around the area for comfort and rest. Water fountains are located near the elevator if you need a drink or need to refill your water bottle.
Football Field & Soccer Field
This is a Patriots football field. There are yard lines that mark where you are along the field. There are also goal boxes and a circle in the middle of the field that mark the soccer areas. The Patriots logo was made from converting a picture into a .svg file, which I imported into Tinkercad. I duplicated the logo to make the 2 tone colors. You must remove the other color's part using the "hole" material to get this effect.
Soccer Goal
The soccer goal is very similar to the water polo goal. Just resize the goal accordingly to make a soccer goal.
Running Track
The running track is perfect for free running. Make your own running track from a cylinder. Duplicate and resize the cylinder proportionally, using your shift key, and dragging one of the resize buttons. Group these parts together and create your lanes for your running track.
Trash Cans
Build a trash can for people to put their trash into. This is a trash can where people sort their trash into the correct bin (biomass, trash, glass and bottles). Place your trash cans around your gym! The bins were created from 4 boxes and 3 letters: B, T, and G.
Braille Signs
Make braille signs and put them around your gym! This sign is made from a box and a scribble block. If you don't know braille, you can easily look up how to write a specific word in braille online.
Roof
This is the roof of the gym. The roof opens up to the 3rd floor of the gym if ever needed or wanted to. The roof is not 1 part but actually made of multiple parts that slide along a track to open up the roof.
Parking Lot
The parking lot has handicap parking, electric vehicle parking, and regular parking. Because this parking lot has lots of electric vehicle chargers, it not only promotes zero-emission vehicles but also more people may be interested in working out or going to this gym because they are introduced to this building when navigating to these chargers. After making your parking lot, build a solar panel roof above the parking lot. It provides shade for cars and is a renewable source of energy! Add this over the electric vehicle charging parking spots and the regular parking spots.
Renewable Energy
These are the different types of renewable energy around the gym. This includes solar panels, biomass converters, and heat pumps. Provided are diagrams of how each system works. Solar panels use solar energy to reuse energy. Biomass convertors use biomass to convert into energy. After closing hours, employees take the biomass trash bag out of trash cans, located around the gym, to convert it into energy for the gym. Heat pumps use the heat in the air to heat or power items inside the gym. The solar panels are made purely out of boxes. The biomass converter is made up of both boxes and cylinders. The heat pump is made from cylinders and boxes.
Air Conditioning & Ventilation
The air conditioning and ventilation items are shown here. The air conditioner is made from a couple of cylinders on top and boxes that form a grid pattern on the sides. The fans are made from a few cylinders and 5 boxes that have been rotated to be spread equally along with the cylindrical shape of the other parts of the fan. Each fan has a light on it in case it ever needs to be turned on. Airflow is important to avoid the spread of viruses which is why vents have been placed in various places inside the gym.
Lights
This is some simple lighting for the interior of the gym. You can make this by using a white box block and 2 grey cylinders.
Done!
Once again, I would like to thank James Develin and Autodesk for making this contest possible. It has been a great learning experience while working with Tinkercad. I hope everyone enjoyed this project. Stay safe everybody!
