Weekly Update

Greetings,

The reason I am updating you today only, even though it's my monday, the end of last week only ended for me on Sunday, which was yesterday. This was the first time ever that I was asked to work on a weekend for Nightingales. The Papworth team's deadline was today, therefore we needed to push, because we were pressed for time.

The team and I worked on Papworth all week, cadding up the entire structure, which included internal fabric, external fabric, columns, floor slabs etc. Once this was done, we were issued with a Schedule of Accomodation.  We make use of this schedule as a guide in order for us to link rooms to various departments. Each room having it's own required areas, and these links give a broad overview whether the respective designed internal fabrics of the hospital are meeting the requirements with regard to space and circulation etc. The linking process is very time consuming, which is why we were required to work in on Sunday. Nonetheless, the Papworth team put in the hours yesterday and we managed to complete linking all the rooms. My main supervisor, Lennie, will be issueing the data this morning.

I feel quite good that our team were able to meet this deadline, because it really seemed impossible at first. This kind of situation just made it even more clear to me, like the saying goes "never count the chickens before they hatch". I leave you with that quote for the week. Peace and blessings to all.

Ciao -G
