ABOUT THIS PROJECT
This project is an examination of a university research building, located in the eastern United States. This 430,000 square foot high rise building will provide biomedical laboratory and research space to the university. While this thesis will examine all aspects of the project, the primary focus will be on the mechanical systems of the building, and include an analysis of alternative deisign options. Thesis is a two semester project, and this site will be updated frequently to reflect all progress made.
ABOUT CPEP
The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web‐based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year‐long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
