The project investigated preliminary design layouts as well as structural frame and construction plan for Lot 3 commercial building of the Gateway Park expansion at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. A structural design, including an additional floor featuring an open-style conference center, was established following investigations of structural steel and reinforced concrete. Elements of the foundation system were also designed. A phased construction plan, project schedule and cost estimate were prepared and submitted as project deliverables.
