NCFA-B: Condulmer Hall (Gregor Mendel University)

[WJMorris3]

I've been fooling around with Sketchup again...

This isn't finished, but I'm working on the home of the Yellowjackets of Gregor Mendel University. I don't have the logo yet, but colors are pretty much set (though not necessarily these shades).

Presenting, Condulmer Hall, so far.

Critique and comments are always welcome.

Love the bleachers over the brick wall.

When I was in grad school at 'Nova, all of my classes (except for one for some reason) were in Gregor Mendel Hall.

So you are going to go with about 20' thick exterior walls to handle the thrust from the compressive arch roof?

Someone had to ask, figured it would be me.

Sounds like a good idea to me, Josh. lol

That said, without any architectural background, it looks good, different, but good. My only concern is the people in the upper level won't be able to see near the base of the basket due to how wide that walkway is.

Although I think the brick is awesome and looks great, there is no way that is ever happening. They aren't going to play a :censored:ing brick wall right behind the basket, half the players would run into it and crack their heads open.

You architects and your "physics", pchhhhhh, what a load of hooey.

Okay, so I made a few edits, to placate the masses.

1) New roof, so we don't need as thick walls.

2) The padding that I should have put in there the first time is there now.

3) We've raised the upper deck to alleviate concerns about the baskets - I'll add the stairs in later.
