WELCOME TO GONZALO LAY'S AE SENIOR THESIS E-PORTFOLIO
 
Final Report
 
   

The following Senior Thesis Final Report is the result of multiple technical analysis developed from the knowledge acquired in the Architectural Engineering curriculum as well as through experienced industry members. This final report focuses on the construction and renovation of the Intramural Building at the Pennsylvania State University, located in University Park, PA. Four analysis were performed in an effort to accelerate the project’s schedule, lower costs, and improve the delivery of the project through the use of prefabrication, shared risks, collaboration and planning standards of construction.

The four analyses included in this report are:

  • Analysis 1: Prefabrication of Building Enclosure
  • Analysis 2: Prefabrication Structural Effects
  • Analysis 3: Integrated Project Delivery Implementation
  • Analysis 4: Phased vs. Empty Renovation, Standards and Noise Effects
