Conclusion for 3.04.09

Architecture Group
  • three towers are in a fairly straight line (not a triangle)
  • building will be about 800-1000ft long
  • about 300ft wide
  • the slopes will be about 75ft wide
Structural
These are the measurements the architecture and structural group came up with:
Runs/Noodles: ~50' to ~70' changing in size making people slow down and speed up.
Towers: ~50'x~50'
And i was thinking that the group that was designing the layout of the parking, might consider putting the parking under the runs. This would be important because we get LEED points for conserving parking space.

Landscape
Parking Lot 250' x 500'
2 entrances and exits to bridge + residential area
side walk paths connecting towers
vegetation around base of building

SKI SLOPE - question

Architecture Team can you please provide us with information regarding the slope steepness of our runs?
This may be helpful in determining the degree of the runs to match our target skiers ability...

For Reference: The slope of a standard stair is approx 30 degrees.
