SHOPPING CENTER LAYOUT DESIGN PROJECT

Transcription

1 Submitted by: Sam Clemence Syracuse University ECS 101 SHOPPING CENTER LAYOUT DESIGN PROJECT The attached project is the first design project for the semester. The design project and presentation is due Tuesday November 8, The project must be clearly labeled with the title of the project, the designer(s) names and the date of submission. A paper copy of the complete design is due on the date of the presentation. The design will be completed by a team of up to three (or four) individuals---you must choose your own team members and be ready to start the project on Tuesday October 25, Each team will present a preliminary report to us on Thursday November 3, Final Presentations will be made on Tuesday November 8, Each team can use up to three drawings to present and discuss their design.

2 Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering ECS 101 Introduction to Engineering and Computer Science Shopping Center Layout As an engineer and designer, you are hired by a land developer to plan the layout of a shopping mall in Central New York. Design restrictions: The center must be less than 50 ft. tall There must be three large anchor department stores (such as Nordstrom, J.C. Penny, Macy s, etc). Each anchor store must have an area of between 10,000 and 12,000 square feet. The anchor stores should not be located near each other. These stores can be on more than one story. In addition to the three anchor stores, there should be approximately 50 other stores ranging from 400 to 1600 sq. ft. There must be a wide variety of stores to accommodate the large diversity of the shoppers. The mall must include a food court area of 5,000 sq. ft. and at least one eat-in restaurant. At least 75% of the total space must be leasable space! Your packet MUST include (but is not limited to): Mall floor plans; which show store names, locations, square footages, all entrances and exits to the stores, escalators and elevators, and entrances and exits to the mall. MUST BE SCALED AND DIMENSIONED, SHOWING PROPERTY LIMITS. (a table can be used to designate store names and square footage)

3 One sample department store floor plan this should be carefully designed and organized by departments. Men, women, children, bedding, house wears, perfume. Large department stores also have their own bathrooms. MUST BE SCALED AND DIMENSIONED. 2 Exterior Elevations: You must have a North or South and an East or West. Remember that mall lobby areas have a lot of windows. MUST BE SCALED AND DIMENSIONED. One department store-front elevation. This should coordinate with the floor plan --- Think about how department stores draw customers in. large openings, big signs, separate lobbies. MUST BE SCALED AND DIMENSIONED. The design must include some green components or sustainable engineering concept(s) and parking facilities!

4 Please note that the picture is not shown to scale. Follow the dimensions.

5 Hints: Use Architectural Units w/ precision of 0-0. Use copyclip (Ctrl + C) to move entire drawings in AutoCAD. If you have more than one floor plan, copyclip the first one and move it to the next drawing. Then, you already have the proper dimensions for the second floor, locations of staircases and elevator shafts, etc. Use easy geometries to calculate square footages. Use the distance command (type in dist (enter)) to determine the exact distances to the exits. VISIT THE MALL to do some research. Take notes on how many emergency exits (or signs for them) that you see. Take notes on how many escalators there are, if they work with the layout. Evaluate the natural lighting (windows) in the mall and how it is designed. If you want proper store logos, I suggest visiting the website. Remember fire codes. You don t have to be exact, but remember granny at the mall and think about how long it will take her to get to an emergency exit 1000 ft. away.
