DAY 1

28 AUGUST 2017, MONDAY – DAY 1

TIME: 4 HRS

AXP HOURS: Project development and documentation

Today I join back McMillan Pazdan Smith, Charleston office as a part-time Intern. I worked in the same office as a summer intern from May 2017 for 13 weeks. After finishing my 13 weeks I took a 2-week break, for traveling to California and joining back school for the Fall semester.

As a Summer Intern, I was a part of the Corporate studio with whom I shall continue. My studio comprises of a Corporate head + 4 project manager+ 4 Full-time Architecture Interns and then me. I will be working under Jennifer Schutte who is one of the project managers in the Corporate team.

The day starts with a Monday morning meeting, this meeting happens virtually for all the offices in the country of MPS together. They discuss the upcoming projects and someone presents one of the ongoing or finished projects, weekly news and events are shared. I was welcomed back as a part-time intern.

Next part of the morning started with a meeting with Steve and Jennifer. They have been working on red lining and sketching new details which need to be added to the working drawing set for a housing project [ Pigeon Bay Apartments] located in Summerville. I was working on revising the construction document set for the same project over the summer and I will be picking up from where I left today with all the additional comments from Steve.

Rest of the day passes by catching up with everyone in the office and marking of the red lines from the set. The software that I am using is Revit.
