Not a group project. Each student must do project individually.

Create a schematic site plan for a 120,000 square foot woodworking (cabinet making) factory on a rectangular 300' x 350' site with a 50'-wide public right-of-way on the 300' side facing south. Note that the actual road within the right-of-way is only 25-feet wide. The total building area may be divided into more than 1 story. Check International Building Code (on reserve) to find occupancy classification. Two zoning regulations will apply: 1) Assume 15' minimum setbacks on all sides; 2) Provide uncovered, surface, off-street parking at the rate of 1 space for each 2000 sq. ft. of total building floor space (for this schematic site plan, assume that each parking space requires 300 sq. ft. including all necessary aisles, and that parking cannot be within 15' minimum setback).

Design the project using the least expensive construction type that satisfies building code requirements (assume for this assignment that expense increases as the construction type designation decreases, even though this may not be strictly true). Show all calculations in a clear and comprehensive format.

Format:

• Site plan: use an "engineering" scale of 1" = 50'-0" on 8-1/2"x11" paper, oriented vertically. Show property lines, public right-of-way, road, outline of building (with number of stories, occupancy classification, and construction type indicated), and outline of parking area, along with it's connection to the road within the public right-of-way.
• Calculations: show neatly and clearly on 8-1/2'x11" paper. Reference tables or sections of International Building Code to justify the numbers you use. Calculations should compare building area actually provided with maximum building area allowed by code; also parking spaces provided compared with those required by zoning.
