Task Brief:
Using an existing plot on a reasonably level ground, adjacent to access roads and existing University buildings, the University has commissioned Liverpool United Designers (LUD) to produce scheme drawings for a new building, associated parking areas and landscaping. The following project drawings A-D give details of the proposal:

Drawing A: Site Plan
Drawing B: First Floor Plan
Drawing C: Ground Floor Plan
Drawing D: Elevations

LUD have also proposed the following:
Concrete strip foundations and solid concrete ground floor
Masonry external walls and precast concrete upper floors
Timber trussed rafter tiled roof
High specification internal services, finishes and fittings.
The University is considering a traditional procurement strategy for the project. Both the construction department and the benefactor wish to see and use the project as an exemplar in construction best practice for current and future students. Therefore, they are willing to examine innovative approaches to the construction of the building and the site management.
