Potential Problems:
I fear that because the building I had chosen to study is out of country there will be some security problems with getting floor plans and good quality information in English. Also I feel that I am at a disadvantage because the building is out of country therefore I am unable to visit or tour the structure. I originally wanted to choose the Maui Ocean Center because I was fortunate enough to be able to visit it; however, there was even less information available on that subject.

The one thing that may be in my favor is that the design company that constructed this building is an American based company. Also, from what I have researched, the organisation built this building sustainably. If students cannot gather information from the building or its designers is the University capable or sending official papers stating that we are in fact an institution of greater learning in need of research materials?
