Depth: Lighting - The lighting redesign will involve four spaces including building façade, lobby atrium, theater, and open office. The new lighting designs will follow the fundamental steps of the lighting design process. Schematic lighting design concepts developed in fall semester will be carried on and employed as the fundamentals in design development and documentation phase in the spring semester.

Depth: Electrical - The electrical depth will include the redesign branch circuit distribution for the four spaces where lighting is redesigned. A protective device coordination study that addresses a single-path through the distribution system will be conducted as well as investigation in energy efficient loads (lighting and mechanical) and energy efficient transformers.

Breadth1: Acoustic - Reverberation time and STC analysis will be performed for the Feinberg Theater. Ceiling panels will be proposed to not only improve acoustical performance, but also to better integrate lighting system and mechanical system to the space. Analysis of this alteration will be performed to ensure acoustical performance. The Feinberg Theater is a multifunction facility including live performance, film, community events, and lectures.

Breadth2: Design Integration - Integration of systems design will be proposed to the Feinberg Theater. Integration will not only enhance system performance, but also to sustain the integrity of the architecture in the space. Proposed acoustical panels will be used as place holders for architectural house lighting, theatrical lighting, and mechanical supply system.

While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐in‐progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Kanis Glaewketgarn. 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.
