Figures 26 and 27 present the alphanumeric grid for column locations for the building and fitness center respectively that was established in to give each column a title. This system of column identification allowed for easy recognition of the column in question. The layout of the alphanumeric grid created the basic layout for a system of bay designations that will be covered later. Figure 26: Alphanumeric Grid for Building Column Locations Figure 27: Alphanumeric Grid for Fitness Center Column Locations Recreational Center Units The recreational center is divided into three main types of units. Figures 28 and 29 outline these units for their respective areas. Each unit is composed of bay designations that are repeated often throughout the building. These units served as areas of focus for the design of the various flooring systems. Each type of unit is repeated on floors one through four. All the units were divided based on column measurements. The building has different distances between columns but for design purposes we divided the athletic center into units to make certain areas easier to distinguish. The same goes for the fitness center. Each individual unit in Figure 28 has symmetrical bays aside from the angled parts of the building. As a result, there are only a few unique areas that differ while the rest are simply repeated throughout. Figure 29 shows that units A and C are symmetrical while unit B serves as the middle ground for the fitness center. Figure 28: Athletic Center Units for the Building
