The final report is intended to provide an in-depth analysis of the background information relating to the Marymount University 26th Street Project.  Areas of investigation include client information, project delivery system, project milestones, key project team members, existing conditions, and major building systems.  In addition to the background information, three detailed analysis topics have been investigated.

The analysis topics that were performed during the competition of this senior thesis project include the development of a Short Interval Production Schedule, MEP coordination techniques, and the implementation of a green roof.  All of the research topics have been chosen to revolve around the critical industry issue relating to increasing efficiencies.
