Final Report

The following page contains the final report for the year-long capstone project on the SUNY Potsdam Performing Arts Center, where several efforts in different building design were performed. These range from current design analyses to redesign efforts. All of these studies have been done with the end goal of providing an alternate design on the existing building that will satisfy the needs and desired of the building owner and the end users of the different spaces.

For the lighting redesign report section, refer to Parts IA and IB. For the electrical redesign, daylighting analyses, acoustical analysis, and structural analysis of the project, refer to Part II. For any product data, supporting calculations, or additional information or sources listed in the report, refer to the Appendices Section.

Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐in progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Luis Carrasquillo-Alicea. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.
