ABSTRACTThis report focuses on the designofWorcesterPolytechnic Institutes newest residencehall,
locatedonBoyntonSt. inWorcester,MA. The study includes the analysis anddesignof four
alternative floor systems for the residence hall, as well as an investigation into the possible
buildingmaterialsfortheaccompanyingparkinggarage.Inaddition,anindepthexaminationof
theLEEDcertificationprocessandgreenbuildingalternativeswasconductedtodetermineifit
was possible to achieve a higher level of certification and construct amore environmentally
friendly building. Cost and other feasibility factors were considered for each aspect of the
research. The report closes with conclusions and recommendations based on the obtained
results.

CAPSTONEDESIGNIn order to achieve the Capstone Design necessary to fulfill our degree requirements, we
completedaMajorQualifyingProjectthatfocusedonthenewWPIresidencehall intermsof
structuralandenvironmentalalternatives.TheprojectaddressesthefollowingCapstoneDesign
considerations: economic, environmental, sustainability, health and safety, and
manufacturability.
ECONOMICWe researched different structural system alternatives. A cost estimate of the structural
elementswasperformedforeachalternative,andweighedontheappropriatenessofeach.The
feasibility of green building system options was judged considering construction, operating,
maintenance,andlifecyclecosts.
ENVIRONMENTALAn indepth analysis of LEED construction was performed and different options were
investigatedtoseeifahigherlevelofLEEDcouldbeachieved(silveristhecurrenttargetlevel).

SUSTAINABILITY Sustainability was a key consideration in the study of LEED practices and green building
systems. One aspect of sustainability that was investigated was the materials of building
construction. Using recycled materials and wood from sustainable tree farms is crucial to
obtaining a high level of LEED certification. Also, green building systems such as rainwater

MANUFACTURABILITYManufacturability, or in the case of buildings, constructability,was a significant factor in the
final choiceof themostappropriate floor system.For the residencehallbuilding, itwasvery
important to keep the overall elevation at or under 55 feet. The alternate methods of
constructionwereinvestigatedtodeterminewhetherornottheycouldmeetthisrequirement.
HEALTHANDSAFETYThe most significant way that safety affected our design was through the use of the
InternationalBuildingCode.Byfollowingtheguidelinesitsetsforth,theintegrityofourdesigns
wasensured,andthesafetyofpotentialresidentsguaranteed.
