We had our first meeting last night with the Architecture professor, and I feel really good about it. It sounds like members of the administration (particularly the PR people) are pretty excited about this project.
Hopefully we'll be getting design contracts soon so he can get started on some drawings, and hopefully we'll have plans to present the city before too long so we can get the approval process started.
The build may take longer than originally expected. It sounds like it will be over the course of two semesters. However, he anticipated it may save us about 1/3 of the costs, which would be pretty awesome. To be clear, that wasn't our intent in forming these partnerships. The intent was to find a group of people willing to think outside of the box, who didn't want to build us a "regular" house with smaller square footage (because that isn't the goal of what we're doing). Plus I like the idea of having so many people involved. I like being connected to the community.
Next on my agenda is setting a meeting to talk to someone about financing. Brent is going to set a meeting to find out who we need to talk to regarding surveys, utility access, etc.
It's going to be a process... it's going to take a village to make this happen... but in the end, it's going to be amazing and worth it.
