2.1 Task 1.0 Site Selection Four potential locations will be considered based on functional concerns, site drainage, site utilities, potential relocation of the parking lot, relocation of the detention basin, and connection to the existing building. The aesthetic design in order to complement the existing building will also be considered. Four feasible options will be considered. The final decision will be determined by a decision matrix to analyze the above considerations. 2.2 Task 2.0 Surveying By surveying the selected site location, the team will determine the area of footprint, finished floor elevation, quantity of cut or fill, and the surrounding facilities needed to move or relocate. 2.3 Task 3.0 Design Documents Review Speedie & Associates prepared the geotechnical reports for the area around International Pavilion in 2013 [2,3]. They did the soil borings and made recommendations for the International Pavilion. According to the soil reports at the vicinity of the expansion site, bearing capacity, the depth to the bedrock, the depth to the water table, and the saturation level of the soil for the additional building site have been determined. This data will be reviewed and foundation recommendations for the new building will be made based upon soil report. Speedie’s Deliverable: A one page summary will be provided after the soil reports are reviewed. The NAU Technical Standards, the City of Flagstaff Engineering Standards, and the International Building Code (IBC) 2012 codes will be referenced for the new building. Time will be allotted to examine the structural codes in order to ensure the new design matches the code. These codes will serve as guidelines for the project. The NAU Technical Standards will help the design to fit the constraints of NAU. The City of Flagstaff Engineering Standards will help tie in any design element with the city of Flagstaff standards. The IBC 2012 will help finalize the design to ensure it meets all design safety requirements. Deliverable: The information important for this design will be summarized into a one-page report and abided by the team throughout the design process.
