CONSTRUCTABILITY COST ANALYSIS DURABILITY MAINTENANCE

-Repitition of parts reduces construction time and

chance for error.

-Components of design tailored to dimensions of each

material.

-All three shade structures use the same construction

method for easy repeatability

-The shade structures on the sides are identical

-Wooden decking material will be salvaged from

used pallets for cost savings

-Other than the decking the rest of the wood for

the canopies will be readily attainable and cost

effective 2x4s and 2x6s

-The columns of the structure will be bolted to chan-

nels cast into the concrete to keep the wood mem-

bers from deteriorating from their contact with the

concrete

- In order to increase the longeviety of the wood, it is

prevented from touching the soil.

-Wood members will also be sealed to further increase

longeviety through wood burning.

-Members will be naturally sealed so repainting will

not be necessary

-The roofs are designed to shed water into water a

water collection system to be installed. This will stop

standing water from forming which would cause

maintinence issues

- The design allows for prefabrication of certain elements

- Length of some wood members in design require full length of

member, therefore there will be less cutting and fewer errors.

- Beams are composites, therefore making use of shorter pieces

to span longer distances.

- Due to the amount of wood used in this structure, it is fairly

expensive.

- An alternative to buying some of the wood is to salvage

wooden pallets and break them apart for pieces.

- Only pressure-treated members will meet the ground.

- Sealing of untreated wood is need to increase life of the

structure.

- Reapplication of sealer will be needed.

-CMU & wood design allows for fabrication off site and on site simulta-

niously

-Repitition of parts reduces construction time and chance for error.

-Components of design tailored to dimensions of each material.

-Due to the high price of CMU per unit, the design only required in CMU

what would be holding the soil.

-Wood is an inexpensive alternative that still provides an asthetic quality

as well as greater comfort when seated.

-If needed, wood members can be substituted with salvaged materials,

further reducing overall cost.

-By placing CMU in direct contact with the soil, the lifespan of the bed is

extended

- In order to increase the longeviety of the wood, it is prevented from

touching the soil.

-Wood members will also be sealed to further increase longeviety.

-Repetitive design allows for easy production of replacement members.

-Dry-Stacked CMU gives the option to replace damaged blocks.

-Coated fasteners prevent rust and wear on wooden members.

COMPOST PLAN

-3 part composting plan, allowing for different stages of the

composting process to be broken up.

-Instead of open mounds, there is the potential for at least

one compost tumbler for ease of rotation.

-Compost located at the end of each row for ease of trans-

portation.

-A portion of the storage bins could contain removeable

compost stations.

-Raising sides of containers allow for partial shade instead of

direct sun.

-Possible materials range from CMU or pallet wood for the

sides, or a converted rain barrel for a tumbler.

SCALE: 3/32”= 1’0”

The School of Architecture, Department of Food Science, Nutrition and Health Promotion, De-partment of Curriculum, Instruction, and Spe-cial Education, Horticulture Club, and Graphic Design have joined together with the Boys and Girls Club of Starkville to design and construct an Educational Garden. The hope in construct-ing the garden is to get the kids at the Boys and Girls Club excited about growing and cooking with home grown foods. This project intends to educate children on how to grow multiple differ-ent foods appropriate for the Starkville climate. The Phases in the project intend to lay out a full plan for the construction is the gardens as well as intentions for future building changes. The building changes set up an educational kitchen to teach the kids how to prepare the food they grow. This educational garden will be an exam-ple of a community garden that will hopefully grow through the city of Starkville.
