Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP,
please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work-in-progress for this thesis project.
Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this
senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Sara J. Schonour. Changes and discrepancies in no way
imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements,
and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may
vary from the original design.
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. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements click here.
