Final concrete to be poured today
A cement slab from 6 to 10 cm thick will cover the 2nd and 3rd floors. Although it's a metal frame structure I didn't realize so much concrete was being used. I did a walk around today with the contractor indicating where I wanted the floor electrical outlets (10 total). Jean-Paul once mentioned, many years ago, how a conference center (or hotel) had done so on a whim and how useful it was during events. With using laptops, projectors, etc. during class it will definately come in useful.

CEMENT SLAB:
IS THE ADDITION OF THE CEMENT SLAB ON THE 2ND AND 3RD FLOORS IN ADDITION TO THE CEMENT SLAB FOR THE FOUNDATION. I THINK THAT I ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION. THE PURPOSE IS, OSTENSIBLY FOR EARTHQUAKE PROTECTION, OR IS THERE ANOTHER REASON FOR 6 - 10 CM. OF CONCRETE?

Is there a capability or capacity for wireless transmission within the school? Do you have to be connected to electrical outlets, or will there be a wireless connectivity in case you wanted to connect directly to the Internet, for instance.
At the moment, I could definitely use a workstation that has at least 10 readily accessible wall outlets to connect the numerous devices. I'm beginning to see the benefits of a wireless world.
I read somewhere that Japan has designed large skyscraper buildings on rollers. In the event of an earthquake, the building would roll, rather than collapse. Have you designed buildings such as this or worked on these roller type buildings in your projects?
