Architectural Program and Constraints:
Our team of Brendyn Collin and Cole, was tasked to propose a commercial building space in the area located a 1254 E Us 224 Ossian, IN, 46777. The commercial project was to be of legal and plausible use for the community and no more than 15,000 sq. ft. It was to include a parking lot, offices, and other facilities. Our team of Architects and engineers decided to propose a community center because it would fill the needs of the community and fall within budget Our team of engineers decided to build a natatorium. We decided to build this because we found a need for an Olympic sized pool in northeast Indiana Although it will surpass the square feet allowed we okay-ed this change with our client.
Site Information:
The property site is located in section 5 of Township 27 N Range 12 E. The area is 5.11 acres and includes a pond. The property is located adjacent to Norwell Middle/ High School.The site is not located in a wetland, and is a typical climate zone for northeast Indiana. Several Maps are listed below:

Applicable Codes:
This project will adhere to the International Building Code, 2009 for all codes and regulations.
Zoning:
From the Wells County GIS, the project site is located in a farm zone. As a result, we have filed re-zoning papers with the county at http://wellscounty.org/forms.htm.
ADA requirements:
Our primary entrance to our building will be from the parking garage below which will have elevators for the handicap. Other requirements that we followed was having handicap accessible parking spots and bathrooms.
Occupancy classification:
The people assembling at our building would be athletes and spectators. Other people at the building would be noncustodial, lifeguards, and administrative personnel.

Type of construction:
Based on the size of the building we decided that brick masonry units for the exterior, concrete masonry units for the interior, and steal beams to help support the ceiling would be the best to keep it structurally sound.
Maximum building size:
Although the original building constants were that it can not be any larger then 15,000 square feet we had our building approved to be 75,000 square feet. Also the natatorium is three stories tall, we also got approved to design a building this tall.
Occupancy load:
We decided that we would have one to two thousand people at one time in our commercial building,
Parking requirements:
For a community or recreation center, we need 1 parking space per 200 square feet, and our natatorium consists of 75,000 square feet total. 75,000/200 Therefore we need 375 parking spaces.
Viability Analysis:
1.)Review applicable codes, regulations, and zoning. Are all of the commercial or institutional facilities on your list legally allowable? Is a variance or zoning change necessary in order to obtain a building permit? Note that variances and zoning changes are routinely requested and should not automatically eliminate a commercial activity at this point in project planning. However, if the proposed activity will conflict with surrounding uses, a variance or zoning change may not be granted.
We wish to build a natitorum which is legally allowable. The zone we wish to build our natatorium is listed as a farm zone. This is a problem because we can not build a commercial building on this land. So we filed for re-zoning.

2. Eliminate project ideas from the list that appear to conflict with codes, regulations, and/or zoning and for which you anticipate a variance or zoning change is unlikely. Your teacher will act as the zoning board in order to approve any zoning variance requests. Select alternate potential commercial projects that you consider to be legally allowed or for which you anticipate a variance or zoning change is feasible (per your teacher). Provide at least three potential project ideas.
Gas station, natitorium, and a mechanic shop were all ideas we had for potential project ideas.
3. Make a list of all of the important physical site characteristics that should be considered when choosing a type of facility to be constructed on the site. Examples include availability of utilities, environmental concerns, size and shape of property, location of floodplains and wetlands, etc.
4. Approximate the square footage for each potential project. Then approximate the cost of the facility using the RS Means Quick Cost Estimator at http://www.rsmeans.com/calculator/index.asp?specialUser=FSONL. This site requires registration, but is free. If a specific facility is not listed, choose the facility that most closely resembles the project for which you are creating the estimate.
· Record the Construction Type used for each project estimate.
· Record the estimated Contractor’s Overhead & Profit, Architectural Fees, and Total Building Cost for low, medium, and high cost ranges for each project estimate.
· Calculate the cost per square foot for the medium total building cost for each facility.
It is important to understand that the cost of construction alone cannot determine financial feasibility. The anticipated return on the investment must also be considered; however, we will not investigate investment return potential here.
| Total: | $10,089,900 | $11,211,000 | $14,013,750 |
| Contractor's Overhead & Profit: | $2,522,700 | $2,803,000 | $3,503,750 |
| Architectural Fees: | $1,008,900 | $1,121,000 | $1,401,250 |
| Total Building Cost: | $13,621,500 | $15,135,000 | $18,918,750 |
5. Based on the information previously gathered during your site discovery, site visits, and this activity, create a decision matrix to compare the development choices. The goal of the comparison is to choose a development option. Be sure to include a key that explains your method of comparison.
We decided to make an indoor swimming pool.
6. Based on the results of your decision matrix, choose the commercial project that appears to be the best choice for the site. Write a brief viability analysis and project proposal describing the type of commercial facility that your team recommends for the site. Justify your suggestion using the information you have gathered and your decision matrix comparison as evidence.
We chose to make a natatorum. It was only one point off of the gas station idea but we felt that building a pool would be more difficult to build and would give us the challenge we want.

We put the stands on the second floor so that way the spectators will have a better view of the pool. We also had the locker rooms, maintenance, and administrative offices underneath the stands to maximize the space.

Calculations:
Water calculations:
After calculation the water pressure from the Ossian water tower we noticed that we did not meet the required water pressure. So we decided that we would either need a pump or have our own well.
Run-off calculations:
With such a large building to house our pool we need a retention pond. Luckily we already had one, but we cut it in half so our building could fit on the property. Also we wanted to make a parking garage so our spectators had a place to park. So we built the parking garage underground so we do not need to expand the retention pond and the landscaping would look better.
Heat gain/loss:
After adding up all of that walls and the materials that mad them up and determining the R-value we discovered our heat loss/gain is 179,835.84 BTU/HR. We designed our building to have an inside temperature f 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
Beam Analysis:
We did our calculations based on a fifty foot beam in our administration offices. We decided that there would be a continuous load of one thousand pounds per square foot. After doing these calculations we discovered we would use the beam W16x45.
