This project focused on the significant elements of structural design for a Performing Arts Center (PAC) at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The PAC was proposed to provide more space for students in the music and theater programs, including practice rooms, classrooms, storage rooms, and an improved auditorium. The critical need for these spaces was determined via interviews and surveys with students, faculty, and staff. This information was used to create an architectural program from which floor layouts were designed. From these layouts, an architectural Revit model was developed alongside a structural frame design. The project also featured a construction schedule, cost estimate, and considerations for sustainability and acoustics to deliver a comprehensive proposed building.
