description: This project is for Wentworth Institute of Technology’s 2020 Civil Engineering Capstone. XI Engineering is currently designing a Physical Rehabilitation Center & Dialysis Provider in the Brighton/Allston District. A physical therapy center was shown to be needed in this location due to the abundance of fitness facilities in the area such as the Warrior Ice arena. The building has three stories, a roof garden, and a parking garage in its basement. The four-acre site is located at71 Guest Street with access to the bus stop “Guest Street at Life Street” and the commuter rail station “Boston Landing”. The project team consists of five engineers of the following disciplines: environmental, geotechnical, site/civil, structural and transportation. The environmental scope of work consists of designing a water filtration unit that would be suitable for dialysis treatment. Geotechnical design was tasked with creating a shallow foundation to distribute the building loads, sheet piles to resist cave in during excavation, segmental retaining walls, and basement walls. The site/civil aspect of the project consists of investigating city bylaws, creating an existing conditions plan, design of the site and parking garage layout, site grading, stormwater analysis and implementing all needed utilities. Structurally, the scope of work consists of designing the steel structure of the building. The transportation design portion consists of investigating traffic problems in the network around the proposed site and develop alternatives to improve traffic flow and safety
