Abstract: The General Civil Engineering Group 2 (G2) alongside PJHM Architects and VCA Structural, is working on designing self-sustainable research labs located near the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). This pair of labs will be placed on a 120 ft. x 320 ft. site consisting of hilly terrain, and will have 10 South facing and 10 North facing semi-flat terraces. The objective of our project is to develop each and every terraces for our researchers goal of self-sustainability by implementing existing technologies, emerging technologies, and novel concepts.
