​Project: MLLA Parking Lot

​Demonstrate the use of your KNOWLEDGE

​

​Welcome to the Lion Construction Team

​Hello Team,​​

We just received a proposal from St. James Church to re-design the MLLA School and Church parking. We need to send in our recommendations and our similar polygon knowledge scores within the next 5 days. Take your time to provide your recommendations on the issues, your geometry knowledge, and your recommendation for design to prove we are the best construction company to complete the job! ​

​

​Part 1: Let's Prove What We Know

​

- Answer the next 10 Mulitple Choice questions to prove we are qualified for the job!

​Part 3: Draw Your Draft recommendation

​

- On the next slide draw a draft of the parking lot you think we should recommend for MLLA and the church.

-The rectangular parking lot is 400 ft long and 300 ft wide.​

-The delivery truck area is located in the southwest corner of the lot.

-The garbage truck area is located in the northeast corner of the lot.

- 3-5 Handicap spaces​ need to be located in the northwest corner of the lot.

- Light pole located in the center of the parking lot. ​

​

-We will review your design and make a final recommendation. ​
