3. Introduction
Kirinyaga University is a developing institution with an approximate
population of 11,600.
Enough space IS needed for the construction of infrastructures like lecture
halls, offices, and workshops.
The total number of vehicles found in the school compound is
approximately 200.
There are only two parking shades for strictly 14 university vehicles.
Other vehicles are parked under trees and in direct sunlight.
These vehicles also need to be parked in conducive environments.
This can be addressed by a multistory parking facility.
4. Objectives
Main: To design a multi-story parking that will accommodate
approximately 200 vehicles.
Specific: To investigate the need for the design.
To determine the design par multi-story parking.
To define the design process for delivery.
To develop the entire design i.e design concept, architectural
& structural drawings, BQ, and project schedule
5. Problem Statement
Vehicles are parked in unfavorable conditions
Rocco et al. (2023), recommended for vehicles to live long they require a
suitable parking environment.
Parking vehicles under trees and direct sunlight has been seen as a defect
to them.
A lecturer’s car wind-screen was broken by a falling branch during heavy
storms in 2021.
Students have suffered a major blow because their bicycle’s tires blow
regularly because of heat from the sun.
Lecturer’s vehicles are always dirtied by bird droppings.
6. Justification
The parking facility will be located at the current parking yard.
The location seems to be central.
It will provide an all-weather recommendable conducive
environment for vehicles.
The beneficiaries of the facility will be the staff, students, and
visitors.
Organization of the university.
Income generation.
Case studies for future days.
7. Proposal scope
Investigation of the need for elevated parking to address the
issue of unsuitable and unconducive vehicle exposure.
Aims to design an elevated parking structure that will serve
the fraternity effectively.
Definition of the design process for delivery including
methodological, structural, technological, etc.
Provision of complete design including architectural drawings,
structural calculation, BQs, and project timeline.
