Hi-

can you please review the attached layout and give me your feedback?

i did this in exatly one hour, so i didn't get enough time to rotate some of the furniture.

the one items i'm not clear on is the 3' clearance behind desks and chairs...

 

thank you and your comments are greatly appreciated,

Sherry

Sherry!
This is a terrific result for under one hour of work! I think you are on the right pass for this exam. I did not find anyhting that you probably do know already could be better. Here are some notes:
- Circulation path is not ideal and reception area is tight. It needs to be strighten out. This sample problem is rather dificult. I believe on the exam you may get a slightly easier one. So as long as you recognize that the path is not ideal, you are good.
- I would not use sketch tool 'rectangle' on the real exam. I would use circles to place my furniture, rotate all elements. When I finish the solution, I could use rectangle sketch tool to check door clearances, as the last thing, but it is not wotrth it. Here is why: a. rectangle tool is not a square, soemtimes people rotate it incorrectly and make mistakes; b. it takes time to draw, I'd rather check my slution one more time; c. if you turn on grid for this vignette (1'x1') you could eyeball all door clearances with great presision, no need to sketch anythign else.
- Watch out for room proportions for JO and CR. Do not make them more elongated then 1:2

Great effort! Good liuck.
