First duty was to make the tea and then familiarise herself with the filing systems and how we keep our files up to date and properly ordered. A Client's Guide to Enploying an Architect is always a good place to learn what an architect can offer and why it's essential to appoint an architect on any building project, so this was quickly absorbed.
Next was a quick lesson in how to colour client's drawings and then issuing of drawings by email to the printers for print, fold and sort.
The rest of the morning/lunch/early afternoon was spent at Loughborough Grammar Schools as their career's department had organised a insight into a career as an architect.
Our presentation as part of the STEM Ambassador's talk included
Architecture as a cool career
Choice of A levels
Chosing a University carefully
The process of qualifying (7 years)
Where you might work
A day in the life of...
What you might earn
A developing and changing career.
To round off the day we visited our recently completed architectural projects in Zouch (new house) and Bunny (Convent).
