Introduction to Final Report
The Milton S. Hershey Medical Center Biomedical Research Building is currently designed as a classroom/laboratory setting. A proposed redesign of the top story would allow a studio or recreational floor for student use. The redesign would involve adding 3 stories to the building, of which the top story height is doubled, allowing for an interior modern architectural statement. A doubled story height would allow for managing torsion from the façade onto a concrete beam, extra tall columns, and methods of bracing these columns. Considerations will have to be made to the existing design should the additional loads exceed allowable capacity.
