Join the Emerging Leaders Peer Network (ELPN) on July 25th for “How to Read a Drawing Set”.

If you’ve ever gazed in despair at an enigmatic 40-lb roll of construction drawings, this training is for you! Drawing sets – the giant bundles of technical drawings used for permitting, construction, and maintenance – have a language and structure of their own. This training will help you navigate through them with confidence to find the information you need. We’ll cover the basics of how drawings are organized, dated, and revised. We’ll also cover tags, schedules, and detail references so you can find doors, equipment, materials, and other common items. This training will culminate in a test of wits and strength with teams of attendees vying for goofy prizes in a drawing-reading competition. The intended audience is folks who need to read drawings occasionally and don’t have a formal background in building design or construction, but all are welcome!

Snacks and bad jokes will be provided. Afterwards, we can toast the victors in a (non-hosted, alas) happy hour nearby.

Speakers:
Mitchell Crispell, Project Manager, BRIDGE Housing
Erin Feeney, LEED AP Associate, David Baker Architects
Caroline Souza, LEED GAAssociate, David Baker Architects
