WEEK 2- SITE VISIT IN MATILDA STREET

Second week’s seminar had been replaced by an interesting site visit in Matilda Street on a vacant building own by Sheffield Hallam University. The purpose of the site visit was to provide the students an opportunity to carry out in-depth observation practically on the building (Nanotechnology Centre for PVD Research) and its surrounding to collect useful information to be inputted in the module coursework.

After the site visit, I have done some reflective thinking. I and my two team members had worked together to collected information such as the internal design and dimension of the building, the nearby building uses etc. However, the observation wasn’t in-depth enough because we realised we didn’t investigate comprehensively around the building to understand some other risks.  We should’ve tasks divided among team members to workout individually to collect as much information as possible due to time constraint. The consequences of such poor team collaboration skill caused me and team members to visit the site for second and third time and to approach other course mates and lecturer for extra information.


From this event, I’d learnt that effective team working and sufficient preparation works prior to an event may ease the progress.
