ARCH442: PENN STATE BEHRAND COLLEGE—TRIPPE HALL Spring 2016

Our Vision Project Mission: Trippe Hall will be designed and built as a residential unit. The building will be built and designed with the best methods while also striving to meet criteria set by Penn State and the Students who will reside in them. The design will aim in addressing climate concerns while also connecting the residents to nature.

Preliminary Concepts Project Goals: 

Student Interaction



Site Surroundings



LEED Certification/Sustainability



Building Systems/Collaboration

The vision of Trippe Hall is designed to be innovative in student daily routines and the environment of Erie, Pennsylvania. Molded to compliment the student’s daily needs and to take advantage of the surroundings at Erie.

Preliminary Concepts Continued...

Site Analysis Proposed Courtyard design

N

The proposed courtyard site design seen on the left was based on the following site analysis’ along with site construction, and other discipline specific reasons.

Original Courtyard/Traffic design

The original site conditions are shown to the left where the major vehicular and foot traffic was analyzed. These conditions were taken into account when redesigning the new site.

Soil Analysis Mardin Series Soil: 

Soils formed in loamy till (nutrient filled sand with glacial clay)



Moderately well drained on glaciated wide hilltop



A semi-dense fragipan at 14-26 in



Frost Depth at 4 ft

To accommodate the building, a larger bearing capacity will need to be reached, the fragipan will need to be defragmented to allow for drainage, and the foundation will need to be below the frost line.

Wind & Solar Analysis

Wind and Solar analysis’ were conducted for the site.

Wind gusts primarily come from the southwest, however there is lake wind effects coming from the North were Lake Erie is located. Solar path and analysis was conducted to determine optimal window angles to prevent direct sunlight.

Interior Views Central Staircase This is the main focal central space is displayed to the left and below for Trippe Hall design. This space has an elevator with a wrap-around central staircase leading up to the floors above. A lot of effort from all options went in so that this space works structural, smoke is blocked using smoke screens and proper lighting equipment is implemented.

The rendering to the right shows the central space with suggested wall and floor materials. Steel columns would also be enclosed in a ledgestone veneer. The materials chosen help to create a connection to nature.

Mechanical Analysis VAV All-Air System: AHU

Public Space WLHPS (Water Loop Heat Pump Source): Private Space

Heating/Cooling: Primary focus on providing heat via heat pump into private spaces, with a ground water loop source coupled with a boiler as a secondary source.

Public spaces will be conditioned through an All-Air system from the AHU located in the attic space.

Ventilation: Due to an All-Air system, It can be known that the ventilation rate will be properly met.

Direction of supplied and ventilated air

Structural Analysis Foundation Conditions: 

Increase bearing capacity (compacting soil or excavate to a higher bearing capacity)



Implement Shallow Foundation System



Footings later designed to accommodate typical column loads

Structural System Design Sample Girder Size: W21X55 Sample Column Size: W12X96 Shear Walls: -Approximately 10” thickness Slab System: -Design a fully composite system -Less Ceiling Space -No shoring to allow for quick constructability Roof System: -Increased Snow/Drift Load -Steel Trusses to carry increased loading conditions

Typical Bay Framing Layout

Proposed Structural Layout: The image to the left shows the typical bay sizes of 30 ft x 40 ft. Columns, girders, and shear walls are represented in yellow, blue and red respectively. The 3-D image above represents the structural system for the proposed building.
