A GAD-based Design of a Multi-Storey College of Engineering Laboratory Building in MSEUF Lucena Campus, Brgy. Ibabang Dupay, Lucena City

The paper is a detailed study of designing and developing a Gender and Development (GAD)-based Multi-Storey College of Engineering Laboratory Building at Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation (MSEUF) located in Lucena City, Philippines. Through a systematic research and development (R&D) approach, the research evaluate the current site conditions, structural requirements analysis and develop all-inclusive construction plants to meet the vital need of extra laboratory space. The research design employed data collection through interviews, surveys and site investigation, soil analysis as well as structural analysis that are computed manually that are based on applicable codes and standards nd are checked using the software STAAD. Therefore, the findings consist of detailed architectural and engineering drawings, specifications, costs estimates and bill of quantities for the proposed structure. The thre-storey Gender and Development (GAD)-based College of Engineering Laboratory Building is to be constructed in a lot area of 2345.80 sqm., located beside St. Bonaventure Student Center with a total floor area of 3880 sq m. The total project cost is approximately Php. 97,740,926.24. The building is fully accessible and features an inclusive multi-stall restroom for all genders and for persons with disabilities. It provides a practical learning environment for engineering students' hands-on practice and faculty research that reaffirms MSEUF's mission in terms of teaching, research as well as community service intiatives. The ADDIE model used in this study guarantees a setp-by-step process leading to a functional compliant structure that meets the needs of the students, professors, and the university. The researchers highly recommend the construction of the designed Multi-Storey College of Engineering Laboratory Building in MSEUF Lucena Campus and encouraged future researchers to enhance the electrical and plumbing plans, and to provide a detailed mechanical plan to further improve the overall design of the building.
