Civil Engineering SCC Building 15 Addition Design, CE13 Kevin Schell Mitch Pearce Jared Erny Chaz Woo Advisor: Tony Stenlund Sponsor: Integrus Architecture Liaison: Aaron Zwanzig Spokane Community College’s Student Services Building has outgrown its current facility and requires additional space. The additional space of 25,000 square feet will expand the Student Services Department and provide the school with additional classrooms, administration offices, and space for The Institute for Extended Learning. We designed the structural systems of the building, which include gravity and lateral resisting systems, the foundation, and provided construction drawings and key structural details. The team compared material and design alternatives in order for the project to be cost effective and compatible with the client’s needs. Our design methods will conform to current and prevailing building codes and standards to ensure safety and effectiveness during construction and the life of the building.

Hydroelectric Generation Facilities Improvements, CE14 Jacob Schlador Doug Forkner Charles Stout Matheus Muniz Advisor: DeAnn Arnholtz Sponsor: Avista Utilities Liaison: PJ Henscheid Our primary project goal is to create a standardized design for new boater safety cables and safety grab lines at all six of the Avista dams on the Spokane River. A second goal is to redesign the trash rake for Nine Mile Dam. We created standards for the six Spokane River dams and their respective safety options. The location of the Nine Mile Dam is on the Spokane River approximately ten miles northwest of Spokane. Our team is conducting research on new and innovative techniques for debris management and boater safety on the water. This research will be worked into design options and presented to Avista Utilities with a recommendation for design and standardization of the boater safety cables and safety grab lines. P. 20
