Background

Our team was approached by a local school district to propose a solution for their outdated dormitories. The current buildings were not accessible for students with disabilities, which posed a major problem for the district's inclusivity goals. Our team proposed a one-story dormitory design with ramps to address this issue.

Problem

The school district's current dormitories were not accessible for students with disabilities, which went against their inclusivity goals. Additionally, the buildings were outdated and in need of renovation. The district needed a cost-effective solution that would provide accessibility and modern amenities.

Solution

Our team proposed a one-story dormitory design with ramps to address the accessibility issue. We generated bills of quantities for the schools to ensure cost-effectiveness and project management. The new design included modern amenities such as updated bathrooms and common areas, as well as energy-efficient features to reduce long-term costs.
