Welcome to the thesis webpage for Brett Reisker.  Senior thesis is a two semester capstone project that takes fifth year students in the Architectural Engineering department at Penn State through an extensive analysis of an actual building project to demonstrate and further develop the skills they have learned while gaining new skills.  This thesis project is a construction based analysis of a 1 story data center located in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania.  Since this thesis project is currently in progress, certian pages may still be under construction.  To assist in navigating the site, please use the newsfeed on the right to track which portions of the project have been completed and updated.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web-based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year-long Senior Thesis class.  Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants.  This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Deparment of Architectural Engineering.  For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements click below.
