Senior Thesis Final Report

This thesis final report will cover four main analysis areas on Columbia Place. Technical Analysis One goes into detail with discovering which method for the placement of the cast-in-place concrete structure is the best. Technical Analysis Two covers the process which the Millwork Subcontractor has to go through in order to make changes to their scope of work. Technical Analysis Three finds an alternative option for the HVAC systems in the hotel rooms. Finally, the critical industry issue and research topic talks about how both virtual and augmented reality are not being used to their full potential in the construction industry. Please enjoy further reading about the work which was done for all of these analysis topics and the final outcomes that were obtained!
