Possible corrupted file?

I there,

 

I've been working on an environment for class and somehow the file will not open today. I'm a beginner with this software, so I don't know much about its internal workings. I have a deadline tomorrow and any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi!

 

Sorry, the file is damaged and the content can't be fully recovered (except for some meshes in the scene / object "STRUCTURE").

You have to start from your latest saved version of the scene.

(Recovered "STRUCTURE" attached.)

 

To prevent data loss like this:
1. Do incremental saves (as often as suitable) and from time to time save or export in an additional format (like FBX or OBJ).
2. Delete history if not needed anymore (on individual or all objects).
3. Create backups.
