Otho Abwao Status


Hello All!

As we enter the meat of the winter quarter, the Otho Abwao project is looking forward to exciting progress. Our team has been hard at work defining and selecting building concepts and rendering them in Solidworks. Exciting progress from last quarter saw the arrival of several informative documents from Kenya, including example technical drawings from a local contractor and a set of public school classroom regulations per the Kenyan Ministry of Education. These documents will aid us greatly this quarter as we continue design work.

We have made our final concept choices and will spend the next few months forming our specifications. This will entail fully-defined CAD drawings, load calculations, written specifications, and the like. We are working to partner with the Walsh Group, a construction management contracting company, to obtain assistance with our CAD drawings. Our next step is to present our initial models to the Walsh Group and begin more exact CAD drawings in order to spec out the foundation and walls. We're always looking for more engaged team members, so feel free to come out to any EWB gathering and see what we're all about!
