Design Development Phase Due

With the hour fast approaching, Team Tidewater's students have been working tirelessly to finish the next stage of their design. Due by 7 p.m. eastern standard time tonight, each of the twenty teams in the 2011 Solar Decathlon must turn in essentially an 80% draft of its design development. This draft will illustrate the majority of the house's design while excluding minor details and specifications. The submission of their design development phase will include the health and safety plan, building information model, and project manual.

The students are working to overcome technical difficulties and other last-minute issues to finish this last push before Thanksgiving Break. Turkey, football, and sleep can't come soon enough.
