Five-story Mid-rise Office Building Project

Brandow & Johnston, a structural engineering firm, has tasked our group with designing a five-story mid-rise office building. Our goal for this project is to design the most cost effective building while also maintaining the architects’ original vision for this space. Our first task was to determine the loading that the building will endure. Next, we developed a floor plan that abided by the constraints of the architectural plans. Finally, we created a RAM model to visualize our design, as shown below:
