Today the UT Field Lab, formerly Living Innovation Lab (LILa) was formally opened. It was great to see so many people visit the site and learn about our experiments. I even got several prospective building occupants to agree to help out with our upcoming measurements. Speaking of upcoming, what does our part of the site look like now? Part one of construction is completed! The roof now has a fall protection barrier installed. We are still waiting for the staircase, but as it is steel, it requires drilling into the ground for anchoring which takes somewhat more time to arrange. For now, here is the new roof. And our new UT FIeld Lab jackets!
My setup was rather empty as the outside of the building, but I brought in as much visualization as possible. There were touchable layers of a green roof, examples of all the exterior sensors, and a simplified 3D Lego demonstration of the different types of roofs and walls to examine. Along with slides, this gave a better representation than merely the barren walls existing now.
