1.      1.  By building a new natatorium, three areas could be greatly improved upon: the outward appearance of the facility including a lobby, the pool itself and the seating area.  These changes would produce recreational fun, home swim meet prestige, higher swim meet attendance and greater interest from prospective students.

2.     2.  My trigger points are: outward appearance of the facility, a new lobby, the pool and the seating area.  Little constraints exist because the plans to build a new pool are already in the making.

3.     3.  5 writings from class I could apply to my paper are: Emotional Design, Emotional Desgin Pt. 2, The Experience Architect, Third Place and The Design of Everyday Things.

4.     4.  "Third Places" often have groups of regulars and people that show up to meet in a neutral setting.  I view a "Third Place" as the type of establishment where everyone knows your name and someone might have their usual order that they buy everyday.  In today's world some examples of third places are "pubs, computer cafes, coffeehouses, libraries and health spas" (Santasiero 1).
