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.

Welcome to Shane Marshall's Senior Thesis E-Portfolio
This Senior Thesis Project focuses on the Pegula Ice Arena. This ice arena was only made possible by a sizeable donation given to Penn State from Buffalo Sabre's owner, Terry Pegula; and his wife Kim. This state of the art collegiate facility is helping bring Division 1 Ice Hockey to Penn State, as well as providing central Pennsylvania with a location where semi-pro and possibly even pro hockey games can be played.
