The objective of this MQP was to develop a sustainable design for the new WPI Recreation Center. This design included the structural steel members, trusses and connections, and a foundation including the footings, retaining wall and pool. LEED certification was integrated into the sustainable design and various software tools such as RISA 2D, AutoCAD and Revit were used for structural analysis and architectural design.
