The following report accounts for all analyses, calculations, and design decisions performed during Penn State’s Architectural Engineering Senior Thesis. This work includes the redesign of the following systems within Eastside III:

• Lighting design within the building’s amenity spaces

• Incoming electric distribution voltage supply to the residential units

• Daylighting within the double-height lobby in order to provide visual interest + reduce glare
   

Additionally, this report includes an assessment of the following items associated with the redesign:

• Construction cost and schedule for the proposed electrical system

• Acoustical impact of the proposed daylighting system in the double-height lobby
   

In an effort to contribute to the overarching goal of reconnecting Eastside III with its surrounding community, the design decisions performed in this thesis bring to life the uniqueness of Pittsburgh and its driving industrial characteristics. These decisions create an integrated, modern design that moves Eastside III forward into the revitalization of East Liberty, while still holding onto the roots of Pittsburgh’s industry.
