AssignmentAssignment• 3 distinct and organized areas (see notes for further clarification)

– Use www.floorplanner.com to create your design (I’m not worried about square footage – use as much space as you need to include all of your items)

– Label any large stationary items (tables, treadmills, cabinets, etc)• 5 rules to govern your training room• Contains at least 30 different purchased items (anything from band-

aids to taping tables to whirlpools)– ½ point per item up to 30 items

• A list of all items purchased and their price per item & total amount for the quantity you ordered. Include a running total for your purchases noting final costs– EX: athletic tape - $35/box x 10 boxes = $350

• Good use of your budget– $39,000 – 40,000 = 10 points– $37,000 – 38,999 = 8 points– $34,000 – 36,999 = 6 points– $33,999 & below = 2 points – Over $40,000 = 5 points
