Team Imperial Hotel Day 4

Group Blog
Members: Rob, Jessica, Shawn, and Annette

After a late night and a busy morning, our group completed a very detailed plan for the new development in the hotel. Because we had not met with our client yet, we were designing with our tastes in mind. We were prepared to have all our ideas knocked down, but our client meeting was “killer”! Jeff Slack agreed with every one of our ideas. We also got a great sense of his personal taste. He absolutely loves the Bailey Hotel in Bunkie! He wants us to study that rehabilitation project to inspire the Imperial Hotel. We are all very excited that all of our work has contributed to our final designs and that we will only move forward from here!
