Who did you meet with today?

Today we met with Keivan Abidi and Cyrus Amani.

Where do they work? What does the company do?

Keivan and Cyrus work for Pacific Charter School Development and LCA Architects respectively. LCA is a company that designs modular buildings for commercial and industrial buildings such as Lighthouse.

What did you learn today? What were some highlights?

Some of the things we learned today were the step-by-step process of the creation of the think tank classroom, from how the floor plan was created in 3D before building them in the classroom to avoid conflicts and save time. We also learned on how they connected all the electrical wiring that the think tank space would need to become an actual classroom space.

What insights did you gain into the field of real estate development?

Some great insights that we learned from this field of real estate development is that there are many different elements that come together when creating a modular building in a space like the one that was made in our campus, from planning to creating it in 2D then sending in the plans to get them approved not only by the clients but the city, then building it in the time frame that was given to them.

What did you find the most interesting about the field after today?

The most interesting thing that I learned from this specific field that it is easier and shorter to create a modular building inside another building than to build new buildings from the ground up.
