McKinley Court : a new student housing and activities center for Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana

This thesis project is a new student housing and activities center for Ball State University located in Muncie, Indiana. It contains housing for approximately 250 students as well as student activity and commercial square footage. The total facility is approximately 230,000 square feet. This thesis project is a product of my imagination and was not done in conjunction with anything the university has planned for the future, however, it is assumed that this complex would be built by the university as opposed to some other outside group.This book is organized in such a manner that the reader will be able to see the solution to this thesis project from the outset while the more detailed information that helped shape the solution can be found in an appendix at the end of the book. The presentation of the solution to this thesis includes such things as schematic design, design development, and the final design documentation. While the more detailed information found in the appendix includes such things as the site analysis, program, and building types analysis.
