Alyson Larimer Lighting/Electrical
2010-2011 Architectural Engineering Thesis
 

Proposal:

Depth #1 | Lighting

I will be completing a lighting redesign for four spaces within the Virginia Advanced Shipbuilding and Carrier Integration Center. These spaces include the Lobby/Atrium, Open Office Work Space, Auditorium, and an Exterior Gathering Space. The redesign incolces lighting equipment, controls, energy calculations, etc.

Depth #2 | Electrical

The elctrical portion of this depth study will contain branch curcuit redesign for the new lighting systems, an overcurrent device coordination study, and two depth topics: a comparison study of using conduit and wires instead of the current bus duct configuration; a motor control center design.

 

 

Breadth Topics | Architectural & Acoustical

Currently there is no existing exterial gathering space designed for the VASCIC facility. This architectural breadth will incorporate existing components to tie into a newly designed gathering space to be enjoyed by the facility employees as well as community members.
The acoustical breadth will be performed within the auditorium located on the second floor of the Laboratory Wing due to a materials modification of the ceiling.
