In collaboration with SLAM Collaborative, our team at Senior Project Inc. was assigned a project at the University of Connecticut, addressing the pressing need for a modernized space to accommodate the expanding engineering programs within the newly designated College of Engineering. Our senior design project aimed to replace the aging engineering facilities within the College of Engineering. We designed a fictitious multi-story steel-framed building with composite concrete floors and metal roof deck, envisioning the new UConn College of Engineering building on the Storrs campus. We obtained geotechnical data from past construction projects and, with assistance from professors and our sponsor, identified a strategic and optimal new location for this project on campus. Architectural and grid layouts guided the placement of beams, columns, lateral systems, and footings to support the building. Close coordination with our sponsor ensured the integration of the lateral system into the design. Adherence to the current Connecticut Building Code determined required gravity and lateral loads, with Tekla Structural Designer employed to analyze the steel frame and foundations. The design incorporated composite and non-composite beams, along with a combination of lateral systems including steel moment frames and braced frames. Hand calculations verified the output from analytical software for beam, column, and foundation designs, as well as the computation of seismic and wind forces. Integration of the analytical model into Revit was pursued where feasible. Through this comprehensive approach, we delivered a cutting-edge College of Engineering building that exceeded the University of Connecticut’s standards of academic excellence and innovation.
