Campus Construction 2012- Water Tower

         Our last project in first year was the Campus Construction project, where small groups are assigned sites in the State College area, and designed and constructed the requested structures.  My group was charged with the task of constructing a water distribution structure on the site of Pennsylvania State University’s Center for Sustainability.   This project will be a small part of a combined effort across disciplines to make Penn State’s Center for Sustainability a popular destination for gardeners and environmentally conscious individuals.  The water tower would store and distribute water to a work yard and a community garden in the vicinity of the site. 

I was the head of documentation for the Campus Construction project.  I created the full program and project package for the project.  Following are drawings that I personally completed.  Some of them are collaborations between me and some of my teammates. These drawings, in addition to other drawings and computer models, accompanied write-ups, site specifications, precedents, materials palettes, and an environmental plan, made up the full project package that I assembled.  Below the drawings are pictures of the completed water tower in the shop yard at the architecture building, and the water tower on site at the Center for Sustainability.
