Final Report

            The final report will describe in detail the work done to redesign certain lighting, electrical, daylighting, acoustical, and structural portions of the University Building project.  The lighting design in these spaces has been taken from the conceptual phase through the design development phase. All design decisions will be discussed in the Lighting Depth section of this report. An electrical study was done to determine the feasibility of consolidating reducing the total number of stepdown transformers and electrical rooms in the New Academic Building. The architectural, mechanical, and budgetary implications of this are described in detail in the Electrical Depth section. A significant amount of daylight analysis was also performed to study the way daylight is delivered to both the Library Level 4 and Executive Education Room. The data and design solutions including an overhauled skylight system, automatic shading, and exterior shading fins are presented in the Daylight Depth section. An acoustical reverberation time analysis was done in the Lobby Corridor and the integrative design solution is described in the Acoustical Breadth section. Finally, a structural analysis of the roof waffle slab was performed for the Library Level 4 to determine the structural implications of the proposed skylights. All work in the project strives to be fully integrative and respectful of all of the other depths and breadths.
