The things I like about my actual locker is that there is just enought space to hang my coat and put my books on the shelfs.The things I dont like about my actual locker is that I have to open up the lock and if I mess up on the combiantion I have to retry opening it and makes me late for my class; so i decided to put in a finger print scanner so that way it will be easier to open the locker. I put in a rotating coat hook so hanging the coats will be easier. I also put in a shelve all the way at the top to have a space for your laptop that slides down so you will have easier access to it. There is also book shelves that are perpendicular.There is a light bulb so that way if for any reason you cant find what you're looking for turn on the light and look for it. There's a wall put in. There is also a special compartment for your book back, and on the bottom there is a place to put your shoes or rain boots .

Comments
Hi eflores30,
I am looking forward to commenting on your work. A little of my background: I am trained in architecture and now practice as a structural engineer. I have never designed a locker before though, so this will be fun. Best of luck as you embark on this creative journey.
Good starting sketch. Does it represent your existing locker?
Please post the answers to the questions and a picture of your current locker.
This sketch represents what the new locker is going to be.
I have the questions done I just need to upload them becuse i was having some trouble.
Erika, you have a lot of space for bookshelves but you don't have any dimensions listed on it. Also there is probably going to soon come a day when we don't need books anymore and information will all be transmitted electronically. The rotating hook is cool but I don't think a lot of people's long winter coats would fit in that small space, do you? What goes at the bottom? Where can I keep my winter boots that are all dirty with snow and salt? Post another sketch, if you have a sketch up model going post that too.

(after final design)
I like your design. You've incorporated a lot of nice features I would not have thought to put in a locker. In particular, I like the dry-erase board and the compartment for your backpack that keeps it off the ground, away from your shoes. I like the way you put 'stuff' in your locker to show what the intended functions of the shelves and other features. I find the lightbulb with a switch to be both practical, as well as amusing. Perhaps if this design were adopted throughout a school, it might be modified to have a light that remains on as long as the door is open and shuts off when the door is shut (much like a refrigerator) so that someone doesn't turn on the light and shut the door and lock it, wasting electricity and shortening the life of the bulb. I really like the switch though too, so I guess I'm torn. Maybe it could be a fake switch.
Great idea to have fingerprint scanning in lieu of combination locks. I'll bet that the way technology is evolving, won't have to wait too long for this feature to be commonly used in school lockers.
I think I would have liked to see a little more of your thought process along the way, but great job overall on the final design.
