Meeting 2 Notes, Conference Call

This second meeting was held while Cindy's Env Cit class was going on and Catherine was busy elsewhere, so I got to sit in on conference call! I also thoroughly enjoyed this and participated in the discussion a little bit more. However it was harder to know when to talk and who was talking because I was not with the group and could not see them. Essentially this meeting was to discuss the digital dashboard that is going into the exhibit. This will be created by Gunner, who I believe is a graphic designer. These are the notes I took:

· Dashboard

o Signage independent of dashboard except for icons and wording, reinforcement of each other

o Standard package of information w/ main “page” and buttons for people to push see other “pages”

§ Have charts showing consumption/energy/ect for different features of building

§ Keep it brief

§ Example: sacred heart school link http://www.buildingdashboard.com/clients/sacredheartatherton/

o They are thinking about another name or something else to call the dashboard

o All age friendly:

§ Don’t want older adults to be intimidated by it, so may have docents inviting people to use on busy days

§ Feel that kids will be drawn to it

o Tell audience:

§ why creating building at this level, key players and how it took shape

§ Green features

§ Building tour?

§ Photo gallery?

§ ect

· CMBG Wants:

o path from model in center of room to dashboard

o Or free standing sign with mascot inviting people to the dashboard

o Written summary of approach to exhibit; 5 concepts, mascot, voice, ect

o Gunner will initiate what he wants for plaques from us; where wants them, what wants, ect

o On the sign we create explaining LEED Platinum, they want us to also add:

§ How/why did building at this level

§ Key players (donors?)

§ Photos of construction

· Card:

o Make into an educational package sold at gift shop?

o Coloring book? Will people take the time to do it?

1^st go round of dashboard completed by April with all features as draft
