Welcome to Doug's AE Senior Thesis e-Portfolio
This web site is for Doug Tower's Senior Thesis project, the Drexel Univerisity Race Street Dormitory. The Penn State Architectural Engineering Senior Thesis is a year long project in which Doug must analyze the building design in the fall and redesign it in the spring. The fall semester involves three technical assignments and a proposal for further study and redesign. The spring semester involves a structural redesign and other breadth studies.
I would like to thank Chas Ricciardi and Intech Construction for sponsoring my project, as well as Chris Boskey at Erdy McHenry Architecture, Dave Gust at Centex Construction, and DJ Cramer at Symons.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web-based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year-long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
