Today marks the start of construction of my very first architectural project- Burton sailing club’s training center.

The ground breaking ceremony was at 9.30 this morning where Mrs Heather Wheeler, MP for South Derbyshire broke the ground at Burton sailing club in the company of everyone involved in the project including Sport england who have funded the training center as part of the olympic legacy programme.

As this project is starting to materialize and become real despite having been working on it for the past 8 months, i thought i ought to start blogging about it. ill give an overview of the design in my next post and then one for each of my future site visits.

This project is such an amazing opportunity for me as a third year architecture student and i am very proud to be a part of it, and im looking forward to seeing the construction process through to completion and the center in use.
