8. Problem Approach
Divide and Conquer :
Aim to provide a sustainable architecture
• Project is divided into phases.
• Should require less maintenance. • These phases include :
• Analysis
• Budget
• Initial cost should be reasonable. • Design
• Implementation
• Construction
• Installation and Transition

9. End of Semester Accomplishments
• Design a feasible plan for construction and renovation of the site.
• Raise funds to initiate the project.
• Install state of the art engineering technology to help the youth.
• Raise awareness across the metro-plex and the state.
• Recruit volunteers to design the interior and exterior of the site.

10. Future Work
• One year from now, fully functioning counseling office along with over
100 patients.
• 3 to 5 years from now, we hope that more buildings like this will be set up
around Arizona and other states as well.
• In an unknown amount of time, the best case scenario would be having an
unbelievable amount of these counseling offices in every state in
America.
