Case Study: HD Woodson Senior High School

The building was a marvel of modern engineering. A carbon neutral, solar and geothermal powered monument to the future. The outside of the building a sleek combination of recycled redwood and interlocking solar panels. The inside’s high vaulted ceilings and sleek white pillars formed a cavernous inner space. Three classrooms divided the building into working spaces. The bright L.E.D lighting and modern fixtures completed the buildings futuristic design. This building was the newest in a long line of additions to my middle school's campus.

Based on the original project schedule, it seems that the project could be achieved on time. However, there still is a high possibility that the project would fail to be completed on schedule because of some issues, such as human resource over-allocation, delayed works as of Aug 26 2003, and so on. To make sure that the project could be finished on time, Chris Johnson and

To start off I am somewhat confused on exactly what we are trying to accomplish, although I understand the basics in what we are doing in this paper. I would like to talk about and look up information on building large structures such as skyscrapers as well as complex buildings like the Darla Moore School of Business. How I plan to go about doing this is by showing you first what I already know about building structures that I have learned in previous building construction classes. I then plan on finding more information inside of The Carolina Rhetoric in order to better understand how you can come about constructing such a complex structure. There can be many problems that you face when trying to construct these buildings such as making sure

FSD is committed to completing the steps necessary in the planning, designing and construction of their project. The process of the school facility building program is in accordance with Washington’s SCAP. The High-Performance Public Buildings Law requires construction to be designed and built to high-performance green building standards (Washington State Legislature, 2011). The construction is generally a multi-year (between two to four years for completion) and a multi-phase process. There are six phases: preliminary planning, financing school construction, predesign analysis, preparing for construction, construction and occupancy.

It is to my understanding that the topic of discussion amongst the district is to where the next high school football stadium should be built. I wholeheartedly believe that Grace Davis High School is a very strong candidate for this position. With the school almost being 60 years old, I think a football stadium would be an innovative way to rejuvenate Davis high school. Often, when students picture the perfect high school, a football stadium comes into mind. However, I would not necessarily say that a football stadium would make our school perfect. Davis High School is perfect because we are all full of spirit and together we are one big family and what better way to bring us all together than building the school a stadium? With newer schools

Saying this, the corporation must be funded federally. The average cost per building is about thirty to fifty million dollars. This money incorporates the main frame of the sixty story building with all windows, flooring, and insulated drywall. The estimated salary cap of the employees is around forty five million dollars. Each floor will hold approximately seven to ten rooms. Each room will hold 25 students and a teacher. The impact of this building will affect many citizens of the community. This corporation will help the uneducated, poor, and immigrants unable to attend a prestige or community college or even a high school. It is averaged to educate over six thousand citizens annually in any state with two or more

LEED Certification, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is both a professional certification in sustainable building practices, and a grading scale on a structure’s environmental impact and sustainability (USGBC, 2008). A LEED certified professional is recognized as having completed the required course of curriculum in LEED and has successfully passed the LEED Certification exam. This allows a LEED certified professional to be able to work with colleagues of the construction industry in all aspects of a project to develop a LEED certified structure. Using LEED ensures a structure to be designed and built with the utmost attention to detail to assure that the structure is as environmentally friendly as

To receive an L.E.E.D certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn points to achieve different levels of certification. L.E.E.D was by the U.S Green Building Council (USGBC). Since its inception in 1998, L.E.E.D has grown to encompass more than 14,000 projects in the U.S. L.E.E.D was created because USGBC had a vision that buildings and communities will regenerate and sustain the health and vitality of all life within a generation, USGBC’s mission was to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life. There are four certification levels for L.E.E.D construction- certified, silver, gold, and platinum that correspond to the number of credits accrued in five green design categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmentally quality. L.E.E.D is a reward system that comes with certification, such as access to expert technical support; wide-ranging marketing benefits, the unbiased, transparent assurance that the project team cut no corners in the marking or updating of a Class A green

The LEED 2009:v3 for New Construction and Major Renovations rating system is comprised of 7 categories: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, Innovation in Design, and Regional Priority. Within these categories are a total of 8 prerequisites and 49 credits. All the prerequisites require mandatory compliance for LEED certification, and do not award points. The 49 credits, for which the point system is weighted to account for the environmental impact of the credit, award up to a total of 100 base points and 10 bonus points (the bonus points can be earned in The Innovation in Design and the Regional Priority categories).

Gibson Southern High School has many characteristics making it a wonderful school corporation. It includes the community, the school, the students and constructive characteristics that help bring about its wonderful features. First, I will start with the community. Gibson Southern High School is located on 3499 W 800 S, Fort Branch, IN 47648. It is located in a very rural area. Cornfields surround the area.
