= Introduction and Overview =
Downtown Brooklyn is experiencing a renaissance. NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering spearheaded the first leg of this resurgence over 20 years ago when it proposed an urban renewal project designed to develop a Metropolitan Technology Center in Brooklyn.
Now known as Metrotech, the area has been transformed. It features new construction that houses Keyspan Energy, Chase Manhattan Bank, Bear Sterns, Empire Blue Cross / Blue Shield, and other corporate heavyweights. The city has recognized Metrotech's success and intends to expand on it.
Since 9/11, Manhattan-based companies have had to add back office space outside of that Borough in order to prevent the catastrophic effects another terrorist attack could have on their businesses. The City, driven by the desire to keep these companies in New York, is planning a massive Downtown rezoning and redevelopment plan for Brooklyn. The plan would allow for the construction of 6.7 million square feet of office space, 1 million square feet of retail development, 1,000 housing units and 2,500 parking spaces.
Retail giants like Target, which just opened a store in the new Atlantic Terminal Mall on the corner of Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues, and Ikea, whose plan for a location in Red Hook has just been approved by the City Planning Commission, are moving to the area. There is even a proposal by the owner of the New Jersey Nets, Bruce Ratner, to move the team to a proposed site in Downtown Brooklyn called The Atlantic Yards.
But despite all this activity, there is still a shortage of supermarkets in the area. Operating on the theory that all these people must eat, Whole Foods, the Austin, Texas based natural and organic food seller, is building a 52,000 square foot store south of Park Slope. However, this site is still some distance from Downtown Brooklyn.
Our company, Poly Foods, Inc., is launching a design competition for our new location on Jay Street. Right in the heart of Metrotech, this site had enormous potential. The right design concept will guarantee success.
Your plan must be innovative. The winning proposal will be the one that incorporates a bold scheme for the space that combines solid engineering with a broad vision of the future of food retailing. The architectural ideas embodied in your plans must be discussed fully. Your proposal should include information on your company and its lead developers with at least one reference to a previous commission.
Please refer to the specifications that follow as you prepare your submission.

= Specifications =
A major Supermarket chain has commissioned your firm to design a store for their recently purchased 400'X400' lot. It is bounded by Jay and Tillary Streets. Your clients have asked you to include a parking lot and a loading dock. The overall lot must hold both the supermarket and its parking lot. The parking lot can be "at grade", or above or beneath the supermarket.
New York University has commissioned your firm to redesign the old Jacobs Admistrative Building into a full college campus. The lot is approximately 200’ x 200' and is bounded by Jay and Johnson Streets. The campus must include:
* Classrooms
** Four 40-student classrooms
** Two 20-student classrooms
** One 100-student lecture hall
* One recreational space
* Dorm rooms to accomodate 100 students
* One facility of choice
** Restaurant/Cafeteria, Gym, Tennis Court, etc.
Additionally, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC schematics must be completed for one recreational space, one dorm room, and one classroom. This includes all electrical wiring, air ducts, and pipes. Using these schematics, ‘’’cost of operation’’’ must be calculated for the entire facility.  


Your supermarket must be only one story tall.
The campus must achieve a LEED accreditation of at least ‘’’Gold’’’ (four categories of the six categories).  


The EG1003 staff will supply foam board. Any other materials you may want to use will have to be purchased by you at your own expense. There will be no reimbursement for these materials.
== Building Code ==
The new campus must adhere to the General Engineering Building Code as outlined below:
* Fire Code
** Each floor must be equipped with sprinkler heads and emergency evacuation stairs
** Fire alarms must be placed in each classroom, dorm hallway, and recreational space
*** Electrical wirings are not necessary
* Wheelchair Accessibility
** Each floor, classroom, and recreational space must be wheelchair accessible
** At least one bathroom stall per floor must be wheelchair accessible
* Security
** Every entrance and exit must be guarded by a 24/7 security guard with a desk and tap-in system
** Entrances to dorms must have a turnstile in addition to the standard security guard
* Structural Rules
** All doors must be at least 6 ft 8 in. tall and 32 in. wide
** All walls must be at least 8 ft tall

== LEED Accreditation ==
Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) is a green building certification program. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. Teams choose the best fit for their project. The different categories for the LEED checklist<ref name="checklist">[http://www.usgbc.org/resources/leed-v4-building-design-and-construction-current-version http://www.usgbc.org/resources/leed-v4-building-design-and-construction-current-version]</ref> correspond to principles of design, construction, and maintenance. For the purposes of this project, the checklist has been streamlined. All prerequisites from a category must be incorporated into the supermarket design to count toward certification. LEED Silver certification requires completion of at least two categories; LEED Gold, at least four categories, and LEED Platinum, all six categories. Achievement of each prerequisite will be accomplished through drawings, cost estimates, and explanations of the design.

== Site Visits ==
The first step is to make a number of site visits. Start by visiting the new Target at the Atlantic Terminal Market at 139 Flatbush Avenue. Their store hours are M-Sat 8-10 and Sun 8-9. Make note of the store's layout and the features that have been incorporated that allow a downtown store to use space efficiently. Next, visit a typical supermarket that is about 40,000 square feet. The Whole Foods in the Chelsea section of Manhattan is a good choice, but you may visit any one you like. On your visit, create a parts list of typical store fixtures like shelves, freezers, refrigerators, lighting fixtures, registers, display cases, shopping carts, restocking carts and so on. Write down the brand names of the fixtures you see to aid your research later. Determine the average checkout time per shopper at three different times of the day, 9AM on a weekday, 12PM on a Sunday, and 6PM on a weekday. Using the same three data points, calculate their average waiting time and how many shoppers enter the store per hour for each of the three hours. Tabulate this data neatly in a table, graph, or chart that presents the information clearly.


== Power/AC/Heat Calculations ==
== Power/AC/Heat Calculations ==
Using the information you gathered on your site visit, calculate the total power requirement for the store. Then calculate the energy costs for a typical year. Determine the total A/C requirement. What is the dollar cost per year for air conditioning? Determine the total heat requirement. What is the dollar cost per year for heat? Tabulate this data neatly in a table, graph, or chart that presents the information clearly.
Using the information from electrical/plumbing/HVAC schematics, calculate the total power usage for operation of the campus per day. Then calculate the energy costs for a typical year. Determine the total A/C requirement. What is the dollar cost per year for air conditioning? Determine the total heat requirement. What is the dollar cost per year for heat? Tabulate this data neatly in a table, graph, or chart that presents the information clearly.


== Model ==
== Model ==
Design your Supermarket using AutoCAD as your primary design tool. Create a convenient layout, with aisles (at least wide enough for 2 shopping carts to pass), shelves, registers, deli counter, for all items, on the master list provided, of store items from the Port Washington King Kullen.
Design your campus using Autodesk Revit as your primary design tool. Create a convenient layout to accommodate the items listed in Specifications. Once the design is complete, generate a walk-through video of the campus and 3D print the exterior shell utilizing the EG Prototyping Lab.  
 
Your team will create a 3D computer-simulated model.
 
== LabVIEW ==
A LabVIEW program that will control the lighting, temperature, and security systems for your Supermarket must be created. Please refer to the course syllabus for all due dates.
 
Use LabVIEW to design a lighting system and a heating/cooling system for your Supermarket. Both systems must be included in the same LabVIEW VI.
 
Your design must include plumbing. The municipal water and sewer lines enter the Supermarket from the street. Your plumbing design must include piping for spray nozzles in the produce area, sinks in the deli area,sewage, hot water, and cold water.
 
For your security system VI, you may want to take the following into consideration:
* Fire Alarm
* Video Surveillance
* Manual/Automatic Alarm System
Be creative and make sure to label the security system appropriately in your VI implementation.

== Drawings ==
== Drawings ==
The following paragraphs discuss the drawings required for the project, and AutoCAD. If you have access to another drawing system capable of producing 3D drawings, you may use that instead if you wish. However, EG1003 will only provide access to AutoCAD, and AutoCAD is the preferred solution.
The following paragraphs discuss the drawings required for the project using Revit. ‘’’No other software will be accepted for submission.’’’ Revit is free to download using your NYU email, and all computers in the EG Modelshop and NYU Tandon computer lab have full copies of the software.  
 
A command of AutoCAD is necessary for you to complete the drawings required for this project. Refer to the AutoCAD handout for more information. The main layer of your AutoCAD drawings will be the floor plan. The dimensioning, electrical, and plumbing drawings must be added as separate layers. Print your drawings separately using a scale of 1:240 (1" = 20'). You may use the symbols preloaded in AutoCAD to draw fixtures, appliances, windows, and doors. You will have to create some of the symbols required for your drawings. Make sure you include a title block.


Use AutoCAD to draw a floor plan of your design, labeling all the fixtures and design elements you have included.
Consult the [[Media: Revit_How_To.pdf|Revit How-To Guide]] to create your college campus. The How-To Guide contains useful examples for designing your building, but ‘’’do not copy the instructions as they only serve as examples of the features available in Revit.’’’


Use AutoCAD to prepare two elevation drawings of your design. Your first drawing is the front elevation. It must be fully dimensioned and include:
Each floor of your campus must have an accompanying drawing. It must be fully dimensioned and include all aspects of the room design including:
# All door and window openings.
* All door and window openings
# Your choice of façade material, e.g., aluminum siding, brick, or stucco.
* Material choices
* Furniture
* Lighting fixtures


Your second drawing is the most detailed side or back elevation. It must be fully dimensioned and include:
All electrical, plumbing, and HVAC drawings must include:
# All door and window openings.
* Wiring, outlets, switches, and light fixtures
# Your choice of façade material e.g. aluminum siding, brick, or stucco.
* Sinks, toilets, and showerheads with hot water, cold water, and sewage pipes
* Air ducts for heating and cooling


Use AutoCAD to prepare a dimensioned drawing of your design. Your drawing must include:
== Schedules ==
# Detailed dimensions of your floor plan.
Create a construction schedule using Microsoft Project. The items included in this schedule include:
# You must be able to construct the store from this drawing. To preserve clarity, dimensions should be located outside the store when possible. Dimensions may not overlap.
* Clearing site
* Laying foundation
* Studs and structural members
* Wall construction and window installation
* Painting
* Electrical wiring and lighting installation
* Plumbing
* HVAC


Use AutoCAD to prepare an electrical drawing of your design. Your drawing must include:
== Cost Estimate ==
# All items in the electrical system in this drawing.
Three separate tables (construction, operation, and labor) for cost estimation must be created using the following guidelines.
# Outlets, switches, light fixtures, and wiring.
=== Cost of Construction ===
# A legend.
Using the wholesale price of all materials and components in your design, calculate the total cost of construction (not including labor). Tabulate a materials list and generate a complete cost estimate for the entire campus.  


Use AutoCAD to prepare a plumbing drawing of your design. Your drawing must include:
=== Cost of Operation ===
# Spray nozzles in the produce area and sinks in the deli area.
Calculate the total cost of operation per day and per year of the new campus. Tabulate energy usage and associated costs into a neatly organized table.
# Sewage pipes (must be solid and be drawn with continuous line type).
# Cold water pipes (must be blue and be drawn with hidden line type).
# Hot water pipes (must be red and drawn with center line type).
# A legend.


Use AutoCAD to prepare an overall drawing of the site, showing the outline of the supermarket and the parking lot. If the parking lot is above or below ground, include a floor plan of the garage.
=== Labor ===
 
Calculate the total cost of labor for ‘’’construction of the campus.’’’ Do not include cost of labor for operation. Refer to the construction schedule to create this estimate. Neatly tabulate costs into a table.  
== First Cost Estimate ==
After the design is complete, a cost estimate must be generated that calculates the cost of all the items specified on your parts list that will be incorporated into your design. Do not include construction costs. Conduct your research on the internet. The brand names you collected on your site visit will help. Tabulate the information clearly in an Excel spreadsheet.
 
Have all the materials and parts used categorized in different groups instead of including individual parts.  Make sure to include the units of each part used in a group and total them up for that individual group. Moreover, the cost of labor should be included. You can get help on the labor cost by reading the page [[How to plan the schedule and calculate costs for a project]].

Revision as of 23:16, 23 January 2018

Introduction and Overview

Specifications

New York University has commissioned your firm to redesign the old Jacobs Admistrative Building into a full college campus. The lot is approximately 200’ x 200' and is bounded by Jay and Johnson Streets. The campus must include:

  • Classrooms
    • Four 40-student classrooms
    • Two 20-student classrooms
    • One 100-student lecture hall
  • One recreational space
  • Dorm rooms to accomodate 100 students
  • One facility of choice
    • Restaurant/Cafeteria, Gym, Tennis Court, etc.

Additionally, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC schematics must be completed for one recreational space, one dorm room, and one classroom. This includes all electrical wiring, air ducts, and pipes. Using these schematics, ‘’’cost of operation’’’ must be calculated for the entire facility.

The campus must achieve a LEED accreditation of at least ‘’’Gold’’’ (four categories of the six categories).

Building Code

The new campus must adhere to the General Engineering Building Code as outlined below:

  • Fire Code
    • Each floor must be equipped with sprinkler heads and emergency evacuation stairs
    • Fire alarms must be placed in each classroom, dorm hallway, and recreational space
      • Electrical wirings are not necessary
  • Wheelchair Accessibility
    • Each floor, classroom, and recreational space must be wheelchair accessible
    • At least one bathroom stall per floor must be wheelchair accessible
  • Security
    • Every entrance and exit must be guarded by a 24/7 security guard with a desk and tap-in system
    • Entrances to dorms must have a turnstile in addition to the standard security guard
  • Structural Rules
    • All doors must be at least 6 ft 8 in. tall and 32 in. wide
    • All walls must be at least 8 ft tall

LEED Accreditation

Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) is a green building certification program. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. Teams choose the best fit for their project. The different categories for the LEED checklist[1] correspond to principles of design, construction, and maintenance. For the purposes of this project, the checklist has been streamlined. All prerequisites from a category must be incorporated into the supermarket design to count toward certification. LEED Silver certification requires completion of at least two categories; LEED Gold, at least four categories, and LEED Platinum, all six categories. Achievement of each prerequisite will be accomplished through drawings, cost estimates, and explanations of the design.

Power/AC/Heat Calculations

Using the information from electrical/plumbing/HVAC schematics, calculate the total power usage for operation of the campus per day. Then calculate the energy costs for a typical year. Determine the total A/C requirement. What is the dollar cost per year for air conditioning? Determine the total heat requirement. What is the dollar cost per year for heat? Tabulate this data neatly in a table, graph, or chart that presents the information clearly.

Model

Design your campus using Autodesk Revit as your primary design tool. Create a convenient layout to accommodate the items listed in Specifications. Once the design is complete, generate a walk-through video of the campus and 3D print the exterior shell utilizing the EG Prototyping Lab.

Microsoft Project

A project schedule must be created in Microsoft Project. Learn to use Microsoft Project by accessing the Microsoft Project Student Guide. This schedule must include all tasks related to the project from the start of the project to Early or Final submission. Click here to access the guide on how to transfer a file. The Microsoft Project schedule should include:

  • Minimum of 20 tasks, excluding Milestones
  • Milestones should be clearly indicated on the project plan (duration of zero days)
  • Each task must include the person responsible for completing the task (resource names)
  • Use the "Copy Picture" function to include the schedule in the presentations. Do not take a screenshot
  • Gantt chart must be displayed alongside the tasks list (fit onto one slide)
  • Gantt chart must show a progress line
  • Clearly state during the presentations whether the project is on-time, behind schedule, or ahead of schedule

For help planning the project, review the manual page Planning Project Scheduling & Costs.

Drawings

The following paragraphs discuss the drawings required for the project using Revit. ‘’’No other software will be accepted for submission.’’’ Revit is free to download using your NYU email, and all computers in the EG Modelshop and NYU Tandon computer lab have full copies of the software.

Consult the Revit How-To Guide to create your college campus. The How-To Guide contains useful examples for designing your building, but ‘’’do not copy the instructions as they only serve as examples of the features available in Revit.’’’

Each floor of your campus must have an accompanying drawing. It must be fully dimensioned and include all aspects of the room design including:

  • All door and window openings
  • Material choices
  • Furniture
  • Lighting fixtures

All electrical, plumbing, and HVAC drawings must include:

  • Wiring, outlets, switches, and light fixtures
  • Sinks, toilets, and showerheads with hot water, cold water, and sewage pipes
  • Air ducts for heating and cooling

Schedules

Create a construction schedule using Microsoft Project. The items included in this schedule include:

  • Clearing site
  • Laying foundation
  • Studs and structural members
  • Wall construction and window installation
  • Painting
  • Electrical wiring and lighting installation
  • Plumbing
  • HVAC

Cost Estimate

Three separate tables (construction, operation, and labor) for cost estimation must be created using the following guidelines.

Cost of Construction

Using the wholesale price of all materials and components in your design, calculate the total cost of construction (not including labor). Tabulate a materials list and generate a complete cost estimate for the entire campus.

Cost of Operation

Calculate the total cost of operation per day and per year of the new campus. Tabulate energy usage and associated costs into a neatly organized table.

Labor

Calculate the total cost of labor for ‘’’construction of the campus.’’’ Do not include cost of labor for operation. Refer to the construction schedule to create this estimate. Neatly tabulate costs into a table.

Milestones, Benchmarks, and Deliverables

As work is done on the project, three Milestone presentations will report on the project's progress. All of the items assigned in each phase of the project are called Benchmark deliverables. These deliverables often consist of a combination of written submissions, presentations, and demonstrations. Benchmark assessments evaluate the progress of the project.
