Facility Enhancement Reflection

After these two facility assignments, I don’t know that I ever want to think about improvements to Conibear Shellhouse again. Just being honest as John Moss often says. The part I enjoyed most about this assignment I think was learning the history behind the facilities we researched, not exactly the enhancements themselves. I find the history to be fascinating, especially how the facility has morphed and changed over the years. My facility was difficult because it has so many different uses and attracts so many different groups it was hard to narrow down to a couple specific groups and keep within the page limits for the assignment.

I think I would be more enthralled with a enhancement proposal process and research if it was a facility I really cared about and wanted change. That is when we do our best work at anything right? When we are passionate about something. I was never truly passionate about enhancing Conibear, so it was difficult to really think of enhancements that wouldn’t just be superficial and a great addition but essential. In the end with some research and interviews I was able to come up with some good ideas, but mine alone were not really getting at ways to truly improve the facility.
