The 2024 Project

This year’s project invites proposals for the creation of a community events space made up of various buildings across an entire site. The project as a whole must fill a critical need in your community today (research will be required!) while meeting specific parameters.

2024 Deliverables:

Prior to participating, each student must complete the Online Student Registration by clicking here.

To access the Mentor Resources Folder, please contact Brittany Albaugh at [email protected]

Program Requirements

0.1) All students must register online by September 20, 2024, in order for the team to receive points.

0.2) Teams must have a maximum of 10 students per team. Any school that would like more than two teams should submit a request to CIEF for review.
Approval may be granted depending on the total number of teams in the competition and availability of space and judges on Competition Day.

0.3) Complete and return the Parent/Guardian Release Form and the Student Commitment Form by September 20, 2024. Forms are to be submitted to
the classroom teacher. The classroom teacher will compile the forms into a single document and submit it via the link above.

Deliverable 1 - Due 10/8/24
1) Needs Assessment (300-500 words) = 0-5 pts

What is the objective of your project? Who are the end users and what need(s) are you fulfilling in your community? What components do your structures or site elements require to effectively serve the community? Examples of needs include:
- Seating, restroom access, or other program areas
- Parking or lack thereof (less parking may encourage a more sustainable community)
- Fit in with the context of the surrounding neighborhood with materiality & architectural style
Provide two (2) sources from your research for why this project fulfills a need in your community. This is specific to your community/area and can be survey data, proximity data (the next closest option is ___ away), statements/quotes from community members, etc. that provide evidence of the existing need.
Describe the basic function of each of your structures and major site elements.
Find a precedent of a similar existing project that serves a similar purpose. Analyze why this precedent is important.

2) Diagrams/Hand Sketches = 0-10 pts

Provide a circulation diagram showing pedestrian and vehicular access to the site, the location of your structures and major site elements, and access to them. Include a legend for each and notations for specific access needs, including and not limited to public, staff, parking or stopping spaces (car, bike, rideshare, etc.), gathering areas (if part of your program), trash, etc.
Provide a bubble diagram for the program areas of the building identified in the needs assessment.
Minimum 1 site plan sketch and 1 floor plan sketch required per student. These sketches should be submitted as a compiled, single file.

3) Create a media post about your project concept and tag the Construction Industry Education Foundation = 1pt
All seniors and scholarship applicants are encouraged to follow the CIEF LinkedIn page (linkedin.com/company/ciefoundation)

Deliverable 2 - Due 11/1/24
1) 50% (“half complete”) Construction Document Project Site Plan & Floor Plan = 0-10 pts

Using the given site and floor plans (see appendix C), which is assumed to be in your community, develop an architectural site plan and architectural floor plan. These two drawings should respond to and incorporate the needs assessment submitted for Deliverable #1. All spaces should be identified along with walls, doors, vertical circulation elements (stairs, ramps, elevators, etc. if required), major equipment, fixtures, and site features (trees, pavement/landscape locations, etc.).
Only one site plan and one floor plan should be submitted per team.

2) Selection of Engineering Component = 0-4 pts

List choice of an engineering concept to design (structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, stormwater or environmental, etc.).
List the name, discipline, and email of the mentor (see Appendix B for contact list) who will assist with the engineering component.
Research and give a minimum of two (2) examples of what the final submission of your engineering component will look like.
- Examples include single line electrical diagram, structural framing plan, plumbing plan, bioswale plan, etc.
- Examples should not include just a product cut sheet or photo, but be a diagram of a system and how it works together.

3) Logistics Plan = 0-10 pts

Using the site and floor plans your team has created, develop a construction logistics plan. This should include lay down or staging areas, phasing, access into the building, construction fencing/boundaries, trailers & restrooms for contractors, access onto the site, etc., while taking into account the limitations of certain months of the year (i.e. flooding).

4) Field Trip & 2-3 photos = 0-5 pts

Submit field trip photos online at www.cie.foundation/submit

5) Trades Component Idea = 0-5 pts

Describe the choice of what will be built as the to-scale Trade Component Physical Model (woodwork, masonry, wiring, drainage, etc.).
List the name, discipline, and email of the mentor (see appendix B for contact list), who will assist with the trades component.

Deliverable 3 - Due 11/21/24
1) Electronic Copy of Slide Presentation must include:

Team Concept, Research, and Reasoning = 0-5 pts
Completed (100%) Construction Document Floor & Site Plan with annotations = 0-10 pts
Final submission of your Engineering Component (i.e. single line diagram, structural framing plan, or plumbing plan for your specific project) = 0-10 pts
Construction Schedule = 0-10 pts
A photo of your Trades Component Physical Model = 0-5 pts
Minimum of three (3) 3D Rendering or Images to include the overall project, an elevation of the primary program space, and the user’s choice. All views must clearly be labeled in your presentation (i.e. “3D view from southwest”) = 0-10 pts

2) Team video = 0-10 pts

Create a video of either:
- a promo video of your project, OR
- a mentor-recruitment pitch for the CREATE program.
All videos should be 60-90 seconds.

Allot time in your presentation to play team video for judges.
All team members present must speak in the presentation.
