Technical Report I Existing Structural Conditions The purpose of the technical report I is to provide a better understanding of the existing structural system of the Dauphin Hall. This was done through a series of analysis and examinations of the gravity loads, wind loads, and seismic loads. In addition, several spot checks (column, beam, joists, and deck) were performed.

Technical Report II
Pro-Con of Structural System
The purpose of this technical report is to analysis Three alternative floor systems and determine one suitable option for a final design at a later time. The following systems were analyse:
- An existing composite deck on floor joists
- A composite deck on wide flange beams
- A one-way slab
- Hollow core planks on beams.
Based on the advantages and disadvantages of each floor system, a composite deck on a wide flange beam may be more suitable.

Technical Report III
Lateral System Analysis and Confirmation Design
Technical Report 3 is an analysis of the existing lateral system under flexural and serviceability criteria. An ETABs model was developed as part of this report and a couple of members were checked to ensure their adequacy against industry standards.
