Welcome to John Melching's 5th year thesis e-portfolio. Here you will find all relevant information about the University of Maryland Physical Sciences Complex as well as information about myself and the status of the thesis documentation. Below is a rendered walkthrough of the PSC showing how the building is planned to look upon substantial completion on September 13, 2013 and how it may be populated by the faculty and students during a typical semester.
Additionally, you can find a time-lapsed video below of the completed work to date (9/27/2012). This video will be updated bi-monthly to reflect the most current visual changes on site.
Please click here to read a personal note (2/5/2014). Note: 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.
