A university board purchases four lots that are shown in the given site plan diagram below and dedicate them to its new visual arts and design school complex. The campus is located in a temperate climate. The university board wants to minimize the buildings dependency on electrical and mechanical systems and wants to take advantage of passive heating and daylighting as much as possible. All four design options represented below in roman numerals shows a different design and planning strategy for the 4 story main school building which will include classrooms, studios and supporting spaces. The rest of the three lot will have building that varies 1 to two story. Based on the given information here, which of the following planning option would be the best selection for this project? https://www.flexiquiz.com/Uploads/Questions/sa9c5f8a0-194d-4ae9-afb1-e4717e694046_q5f973cd6-9be9-48d5-afa3-b5169be0e986

(Refer to Structural Formulas Sheet https://www.linsgroup.com/MECHANICAL_DESIGN/Beam/beam_formula.htm) https://www.flexiquiz.com/Uploads/Questions/sa9c5f8a0-194d-4ae9-afb1-e4717e694046_q4d787ee9-d95e-4fb0-ad34-c7e6b233a328

A university board purchases four lots shown in the given site plan diagram below and dedicates them to its new visual arts and design school complex. The campus is located in a temperate climate with strong northeastern winds. The university board wants to minimize the building’s dependency on electrical and mechanical systems and take advantage of passive heating and daylighting strategies as much as possible. The campus will include a four-story museum building with offices, a four-story parking garage with an adjacent two-story central HVAC and electrical building, a three-story dormitory building with a student hall and cafeteria at the entry-level, and a three-story main school building with studios, classrooms, and all other supporting spaces. Based on the information given above, which of the following site planning decision for building locations on the given diagram aligns best with the client’s design goals? Check the three that apply. https://www.flexiquiz.com/Uploads/Questions/sa9c5f8a0-194d-4ae9-afb1-e4717e694046_q8a805642-4b1d-430c-80b9-f525320bf0be
