Building Statistics - Transportation


 There are two hydraulic passenger elevators located in the building. These elevators run at 350 feet per minute and have a 3000 lbs capacity. There are four sets of stairs which service the facility. Of these four only two reach the eighth level due to the step-backs in floor level footprint.

Note:While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the infor- mation contained herewith is considered a work-in-progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original buil- ding designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Cassandra Watson. 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.
