This project presents the design of a four-season greenhouse that involves the repurposing of an abandoned building on the Worcester Technical High School campus. The team developed a structural design, selected appropriate mechanical systems and developed conceptual drawings, including unique detail drawings that conform to building code and fit the requirements of WPI’s Major Qualifying Project. The team focused on architectural engineering principles while balancing the use of the existing structure and integration of newly designed building components.
