Pre-Project Blog

    The main inspiration for this project comes from my three years of involvement in Spikeball club. In said endeavor, I got plenty of experience in outdoor space management and the consequences of not having a dedicated outdoor recreational area (namely, many scraped knees). So what better way to combine my own interests and improve the Hawken experience than to bring one such amenity to campus? I hope this project will be just an accessible outlet for stress for students and encouragement for physical activity as Spikeball was for me. We will begin the project by shadowing a carpenter and then most of our time will be spent on campus choosing and surveying the site, building the structures, and testing them for safety.

    Mourad, I'm so glad that you found Spikeball at Hawken, or did Spikeball find you? :) At the end of your project, I'll be looking forward to seeing Hawken students relieving some stress by using the equipment that you and your group members build. It seems that you have some logistics and details to work through, but I know that we dedication and teamwork, you'll be able to pull it off. I look forward to reading more about your progress and visiting you on site!
    -Mrs. Mullen

 Mourad Zeynalov Tue, June 1 Hawken Project Blog In a bout of good news today we finally received approval for the entirety of our project from all interested parties. From our presentation to Mr. Lucas on Friday, we were directed to present to Mrs. Dyer who proceeded to give the same presentation to Mr. Looney just today. He gave his final stamp approval this afternoon. With that, we can actually break ground for the first time tomorrow. We have also contacted and received guidance from the school's equipment director Jim Baker on materials and machinery necessary to excavate and fill the pit. They are able to cover the cost of materials and provide a rototiller to easily excavate the hole.  In the meantime, the three of us have been busy researching alternative barriers (the final choice - rubber garden barrier - is seen below). We also measured out the proposed dimensions for the court onsite in two forms, a 9 ft. and 12 ft. option for the school to choose (see below). The ...

Mourad Zeynalov Tue, May 25 Hawken Project Blog As our project enters its second week, there are a number of new developments we have been working on. Chiefly has been preparing for the proposal presentation with Mr. Lucas this Thursday. In order to get ready for that, we have been calculating the proposed locations, sizes, and costs of our different designs. We came to the conclusion that we should narrow our scope down to building a large, sandpit Spikeball court seeing that Spikeball is a popular recreation activity at Hawken and students have been asking for a designated location outside of the crowded patio. Shown below are the calculations for the perimeter of the structure as well as the volume of sand necessary to fill down to 3 inches. For a decahedron with an apothem of 9 ft. (chosen because the official serving distance in Spikeball is 6 ft. from the net), we calculated we will need ~58.49 ft. of boundary material and ~65 ft^3 of sand. We decided on a design similar to the o...

Mourad Zeynalov  Wed, May 28 Hawken Project Blog As we enter the second week of our project, we've set upon finalizing the design and planning sections of our project. As the last week demonstrated, receiving approval will be the most challenging poart of the process, so we have focused this week on refining and finalizing our proposal to present to Mr. Lucas and Mrs. Dyer on Friday. This week we embarked upon building scaled-accurate 3D models of the proposed location and estimating the distances from the road, parking lot, and sidewalk to maximize safety, efficiency, and fair play (see below). We decided on a location 85 ft. away from the sidewalk adjacent to the loop (see below).  We also spoke with Scott Bleminschid, the school's construction coordinator, about effective materials for the edges of the pit. He recommended using rubber garden edging instead of lumber for safety reasons. We will consider this and include it in our next project proposal to Mr. Lucas and Mrs. D...
