Final Report

​

This report briefly discusses general details of the Perelman Center for Political Science and Economics. Then gives an in depth explanation of the structural system designed for the building and identifies a problem with this system. A solution is then proposed and the structural system is redesigned from a two-way flat plate slab to a composite steel system. This system is then analyzed in terms of feasibility, cost, schedule, and acoustics.
