Green Building Design Concepts and Integration (Semester Unknown) IPRO 335

Abstract

The intent of this IPRO project is to design a “green” and innovative building using the skills and input of students studying different majors at Illinois Institute of Technology. The team has decided to design a replacement apartment building for Gunsaulus Hall on the Illinois Institute of Technology campus. Innovative technologies and practices will be researched and employed to design a “green” building. The decision to design a building for the IIT campus came about because it is an area that all of the team members could relate to and have a more realistic grasp on the project. Then it was suggested that the building this project group designed would then be studied structurally by the team of IPRO 315: Design of a Large-Scale Structure. For the remainder of the semester the two groups are planning on coordinating with each other on each step of the design process.Deliverable
