Design of an Architectural Engineering Building for WPI\u27s Campus

This project consists of an architectural, structural, and mechanical design for a proposed Architectural Engineering building on Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s campus. The goal of the building design was to promote group collaboration amongst students to align with the university’s project-based curriculum. This project also incorporated a fire protection system, energy analysis, cost estimate and construction schedule. The team emphasized the importance of building code and proper coordination between disciplines to intuitively understand the integrative process of designing a building
