Welcome to my Final Report Home Page
This final report is a culmination of the year-long thesis work undertaken
on Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The focus of this work is centered
around the relocation of the Outpatient Additon, originally set to break ground
on the north side of the existing building. I have decided to investigate
whether or not it would be feasible to build this addition vertically on top
of the existing structure instead of adjacent to it. My primary study examines
the structural effects of a vertical expansion and ultimately proposes a realistic
building design. Construction management and mechanical issues were also considered
to determine the efficiency of this vertical expansion.

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. For an explanation of
this capstone design course and its requirements click here.
