This project investigated the design and construction of WPI's Fuller Laboratories. Aspects included functional, economic and physical performances during its construction and use. These performance areas included the Pre-Development, Development and Post-Development (Operational) phases of the facility. In addition, alternative structural designs comparing LRFD, an[d] ASD, were investigated for the frame. An alternative structural scheme was developed for one wing of the building to increase space flexibility.
