The document outlines plans for developing a climatology lab for students. It details the lab's location and area, requirements according to CoA standards, and an analysis of space, equipment, and reference material needs. These include developing information sheets on climatology topics, acquiring instruments, building models, and housing books, journals, and other references. Finally, it proposes a design layout that incorporates a record section, study and display areas, and a data management center.

Heliodon
A heliodon (HEE-leo-don) is a device for
adjusting the angle between a flat surface
and a beam of light to match
the angle between a horizontal plane at a
specific latitude and the solar beam.
Heliodons are used primarily
by architects and students of architecture.
By placing a model building on the
heliodon’s flat surface and making
adjustments to the light/surface angle, the
investigator can see how the building
would look in the three-dimensional solar
beam at various dates and times of day.
