Thesis Proposal

This proposal outlines a scenario where the owner has expressed the need for significant expansion, requesting the addition of five levels to the existing design, as well as a feasibility study into the addition of a green roof, with an accessible garden above the library. This will alleviate the constriction of urban green space while giving the medical campus room to grow.

The addition and green roof fulfill the need for an in-depth structural analysis, as well as breadth topics in architecture, construction management, and sustainability, providing the basis for the spring thesis project. The link to the proposal, and the proposal executive summary can be found below.
