Reasons for Site Selection
Recreational Center
Views of the building’s exterior and interior
Recreational Center Selection•Small footprint
•Youth home needs a gymnasium and the size and height is required for the home’s facilityAn approximate 8,194 sq ft isneeded for the home’s rec center so the court is little larger than needed, but will probably take advantage of the entire facility
•The windows on the front will take advantage of the beautiful view of the valley
•The area between the entry and the courts will be used for the admin space and the front lobby. Can be suitable for entertaining •The back section of the center will be the housing for the children and the caregivers.

Global WindImage
General Information that may be of Value Sustainability
Description:The Global Current Wind image shows current wind in kilometers per hour around the world, color contoured every 5 knots. Actual winds are given at selected cities. Wind direction is determined by the direction from which it originates. For example, a northerly wind blows from the north to the south. Wind is the flow of air that occurs as it is heated by the sun and thus rises. Cool air then occupies the area from which the hot air has moved, creating what could loosely be termed a convection current. Winds are commonly classified by their spatial scale, their speed, the types of forces that cause them, the geographic regions in which they occur, or their effect.
