Tuesday morning continued with getting ready the presentation. All subdivision groups were getting the work done and we all were on tension to get the proposal layout done by 1PM. Meanwhile (some minutes before printing) the renderings were being finalized and post-processed. The work was done on time and handed over to Alberto Estevez who brought it to the University decision board for approval.

The answer was positive. We got the green light and necessary funds to start getting the necessary "building materials". By the way the University bosses advised that we could also put our tower in the front side of our chosen building so more people could see and appreciate it, say, from cafeteria. Initial location idea was the back side, against the green courtyard.
Whole afternoon whe where around Servei Estacio for shopping the first part of materials, because the next step was to build a 1:1 scale test model of several cells to see if the proposed system works and we could elaborate the design and other technical issues.
By 11.30 the test model pieces were cut by hand and left for the next morning to be assembled.
