Initial Report Introduction Your consultancy has been asked to design a new accommodation block to accommodate students in the University of Bradford. You need to produce two conceptual designs, taking into account the shape and appearance of the structure, the internal room layout, choice of building material and structural system. The two schemes should be distinct from one another Main Requirements 1. A new accommodation situated on the university campus, including bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen facilities. 2. The accommodation block needs to facilitate at least 100 students. 3. The land area available for the building is 40 m x 30 m. 4. The total height of the building cannot exceed 14.0 m 5. Additional facilities (storage, communal areas for socialising, study areas...etc) may also be provided as appropriate. 6. The consulting engineers should identify a suitable location on the campus (see campus map in Figure 1). 7. No columns are permitted within any bedroom, or other small rooms. 8. Each floor is to have a minimum clear floor to ceiling height of 2.5 m. General Information for design purposes Imposed loading Roof Floors 1.0 kN/m² 3.0 kN/m² Imposed loading includes allowances for finishes, services and partitions. Ground Conditions Ground - 1.0 m 1.0 m 3.0 m 3.0 m 8.0 m Below 8.0 m Top soil and fill Alluvial deposits, C = 10 kN/m² Sand and gravel, N = 15 Firm to stiff clay, C = 200 kN/m² Ground water was encountered at 4.0 m below ground level. Requirements for submission: For your interim report, you will 1. Develop at least 2 distinct design schemes to meet the client's requirements 2. For each scheme, identify a suitable size and shape for the required new building. 3. Select a suitable site on the campus for each scheme, 4. By considering a range of possible structural configurations, materials and construction methods, select an appropriate structural form and materials for the building in each scheme, including the cladding of the structure. Indicate clearly the functional framing, load transfer and stability aspects of the proposed scheme. Justify the reasons for your solution. 5. Produce good-quality hand sketches for each scheme, showing the above. 6. As a responsible publicly funded organisation, your client requires that the building should embody the principles of sustainable development.

Priestley Building Note: Despite the realistic nature of the proposed project, it is important to appreciate that the brief is a hypothetical one that has been specifically written for this module and does not reflect past or current intentions of the University. Your learning activities will be a combination of workshops and lectures. Each week, during the workshop, you will update the tutor(s) on your progress, showing them what you have completed so far. Each group should keep a log-book showing their weekly progress and clearly indicating which tasks have been allocated to each member of the group. After submitting the final report, each member of the group will need to fill a specific peer review form to identify the contribution of each member of the group to the team report. Reports will be marked on a group basis in the first instance, but an adjustment will be made for individual contribution when appropriate, if the need is indicated by the peer review process. Assessment For the interim report, worth 20% the breakdown of marks will be as follows Report element Architectural design Conceptual structural design Choice of site Quality of hand sketches Sustainability Marks (% of component grade) 20 20 20 20 20/n Instructions - 1. design calculations of selected scheme (one slab, kne beam, one column) - 2. select suitable foundation & some preliminary design calculations - 3. Prepare general arrangement plans. sections and elevations to show the dimensions and layout of the structural elements. drawings can produced using Autodesk/Revit or drawn by hand. - 4. consider method of construction and make construction plan with a gantt chart of the order and duration of activities - 5. risk assessment for the construction process -6. Assess the sustainability of your design decisions, considering issues such as (but not limited to) embodied carbon, waste produced during the construction/use/end of life of the building. 7. Prepare a reflective statement about how the principles of BIM could be used in completing this type of project. report should be 5000-10000 words diagrams and appendices needed include table of contents
