Technical Report I
Post Date: September 21, 2012

 

This report is a thorough analysis of the existing conditions that influenced the design and construction criteria of the Science and Technology Center at Coppin State University. Located in Baltimore, MD, this 135,000 SF building was designed by Cannon Design and contracted to Barton Malow Company to construct. It will be the new home to the Departments of Mathematics and Computer Science and Natural Sciences.

Through the entirety of this report, there is a project schedule summary showing key sequencing, a building system summary, site layout plans, local conditions, client information, a project delivery system overview and a staffing plan.

Technical Report II
Post Date: October 13, 2012

 

This report provides a thorough analysis of a detailed project schedule as well as a detailed
structural estimate of the Science and Technology Center at Coppin State University.

Much like the detailed estimate, a general conditions estimate was carried out to show costs incurred to the project. In addtion, BIM usage was evaluated and critiqued for its utilization on the new building. Finally, constructabiity challenges were addressed with appropriate solutions.

Technical Report III
Post Date: November 14, 2012

 

This report provides a thorough analysis of a LEED strategy as well as project managment topics for the the Science and Technology Center at Coppin State University.

The project is tracked on the LEED 2009 Scorecard and is planning to achieve a LEED Gold certification. The project management issues include schedule accleration scenarios, cost reduction items, and critical industry issues. Information for critical industry issues was taken from each student's experience at the 21st Annual Pace Roundtable Event held in State College, PA.
