my idea for the hatchery is based on what the store represents, which is this link between students, the community and the campus, as well as the situationist and the hatchery(past and present). so with that in mind i designed the space so that all the spaces are connected together. upon entering the hatchery you are greeted by the first area which is the gallery and retail space. here in this space the art work is strategically placed with the retail products to create a space for reflection, inspiration, and and consumption of the gallery work and products. the ceiling is a drop ceiling about three feet lower than the rest of the space and is made of horizontal wooden beams that intersect a series of vertical beams in the center of the space that serve as a display area for work. this wall/partition forces the visitor to navigate through the space. the walls within the space are lined with these vertical beams that move throughout the entire hatchery connecting these spaces together. the materials for the space will be reclaimed to give a worn yet inviting feel in the gallery/retail space. beyond this space the is the exhibition/performance area. in this area the beams from the vertical and horizontal beams start weaving together and forming a space that is less rigid and more organic in shape, which compliments the use of the space.

inventory investigation
assignment:What products make up the Hatchery? This is an extremely important element of the design puzzle, as without this knowledge, it is impossible to sculpt a clear vision for the store. Investigate, explore, postulate. What departments on campus are likely to produce something that would be sold in the gallery? What form would these items take? Refer back to your precedent analysis: what items do other university-related shops house? Compile your ideas in an illustrated list on your blog. Consider a campus photo hunt as one way to define and illuminate this list.
student success center:
this on campus center offers tutors and is composed of 3 academic support services: the learning assistance center, special support services, and supplimental instruction program.
art department:
the art department can sell student art work in the gallery as well as display installations from their students.
theatre department:
the theatre department can offer a variety of performances.
music department:
this department can produce live performances, from solo artists to group bands. the department could also send music students to the gallery to give music lessons in one of the conference/rehearsal rooms.
iarc:
we can offer student work to be displayed as well as hold seminars and meetings through iida and invite professinals to come speak about topics that concern iarc students.

...give...and then give some more
as an idea for the smaller displays in the SAS store, i started researching the different symbols for GIVE and came across images of inspiration. the universal symbol for giving is the hand and after coming across a few dozen hand images, i decided to incorporate hands into my design idea.
so as my first idea...i was thinking thatwe amke hands out of plaster either signing out the word give or with the palms showing. these plaster hands could be displayed on the shleving above the clothes rack or beside the cash wrap....colors can vary depending on the season.
the next idea was tocover the back walls of the shelving in hand prints that symbolize giving. this idea could also be repeated throughout the store.

donation station location.....on campus
after being split up into groups for the advertising project katie, lioly , allisyn, and my self had to work on where we were going to locate the donation stations and how we would go about designing them as well. while katie and lily worked on the design of their donation stations, allisyn and i looked for places on campus as well as off campus to set up our stations. 
one of the places that allisyn chose to display are stations in was mack and mack located on south elm street. bc they did decide to donate a whole rack of clothing to the salvation army select, we decided that they might be willing to let us set up our display in their store.
an on campus location for our display stand would be in the euc lobby area. i spoke with the reservation office in the euc and they told me that we could not set up a display unless we were an affiliate student group or had permission through the head of iarc to run this project. other options were to use the fountain area, but that would also require permission through the dept.

ADVERTISING IDEAS FOR THE SALVATION ARMY SELECT
t shirts are a great way to get messages to people. having t shirts with the quote "doing the most good" is catchy and wold get peoples attentions. by making t-shirts and having the iarc students wear them we become the advertisement and can further explain what "Doing the most good" is all about.
a good way to get the word out about the new salvation army would be to have reusable bags to sell to people. the bags would be fashionable yet functional by doing this we are bringing awareness to the new store coming into greensboro as well as being sustainable by providing reusable bags.

the swoosh clock has a 2ft diameter and is mounted to the wall. the two "swooshes" mark the hour and minutes of the day.
the pendulum wall serves as a back drop for the cashier stand as well as a display for for new items tat are being advertised. the wall is approximately 12ft tall by 9ft wide and has five shelves of clear eco resin on both sides of the pendulum. the pendulum is an ambient light that swings from left to right lighting up the products on either sides.
