Design fire fighting unit. Constraints Loading areas for supplies, equipment and fuel need to be quickly and easily accessed. Fires are a constant threat. Storage of fuel needs to be convenient yet safe. Transportation of scientists and equipment is needed to every Ice Station location.
Equipment needs maintenance space.
Heated storage is required for items like engines or research equipment. Once teams have been assembled and discussions of all conditions and constraints have taken place, have them begin their design process. Each team will present its design plan to the whole group. After all teams have completed their own units by constructing scale models and listing the building and operational specifications for each unit, have the group assemble a unified Ice Station by combining each team's unit with the others'. The privy plan should take into account disposal of waste, weather conditions, and general comfort needs.
