Underlying Program Goals:

// lead students in HANDS-ON construction combined with a design studio education in order to discover new intersections between design and fabrication.


// foster a COLLABORATIVE studio environment such that students engage more fully in a dialogue with their peers, practitioners, context and communities.


// implement architecture, design and the making of space to catalyze POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE and stewardship of our built environment.

Wes, thanks for the calcs- i see where i screwed up here. I want to change the 'bench slab' back to your original 6" (i misunderstood and thought you were referring to the stage slab). Also, the piles calculation is correct based on the column table on the website. so we have in total:

Stage slab: 1.12 cubic yards
(6) Bench piles: .48 cubic yards
Bench Caps @ 10" average: 3.53 cubic yards
Bench Slabs: (.705 + .88 + .54) 2.125 cubic yards
Bench Bases: 2.461 cubic yards

TOTAL cubic yards required:
9.716
10 cubic yards total, should we make it an odd 11 for fun?
