Welcome to Alyssa's Senior Thesis
La Jolla Commons Phase II Office Tower is a concrete structure located in San Diego, California. Serving as an office building for LPL Financial, the building recieved a LEED-CS Gold Certification and is also the tallest and most advanced Net-Zero building in the United States. Tower II was designed to look like it's existing twin building, Tower I. Tower I, however, was designed with a steel structure. Cost concerns led to the design of Tower II as a concrete structure. Nevertheless, the buildings look almost identical from the exterior.
Throughout Fall Semester 2013, I will analyze the building's current structure. I will also develop a proposal for the redesign of this building for the Spring. In Spring Semester 2014, using my proposal as a guide, I will perform a redesign of the building structure. Please see this site at any time througout the next school year to view updates. Thank you!

General Description
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.
