    Abstract

    This project assessed Gilbane Building Company, Cannon Design,

    and WPI's decision to build with steel instead of reinforced concrete

    for the new on-campus residence hall. By redesigning the

    residence hall using reinforced concrete, developing our own

    management schedule, and performing a cost analysis we were

    able to compare the concrete design process to the steel design

    process that was used. We weighed the structural changes in the

    building, scheduling differences, and final cost to gain an

    understanding of the differences.
