The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web‐based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year‐long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements click here.  

Welcome to the site of my senior thesis centered around the newest built residence hall as of 2015 here at Penn State. Chace Hall was constructed as part of the renovation to South Halls which updated all of the other residence halls in the area. Chace Hall was built to address the ever present issue of sudent housing and was constructed to easily blend into Penn State's traditional style of architecture.

 

During the fall 2014 semester, I will analyze the existing structure and create a proposal for the Spring 2015 semester which will guide my design modifications to the building during that semester.

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 Zachary B. Pitner. 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.
