The second stage is the integrated processes of the main engineering systems: architectural design included dividing the areas to suitable functions with suitable dimensions for each function, taking into consideration the site conditions, in order to achieve a comfortable atmosphere in the building; it has been designed by using AutoCAD and Revit software programs. Structural design included choosing the structural system that was used, the design had been conducted in details for all structural elements according to ACI code and UBC code, and it has been conducted by ETABS, SAP 2000 software programs. After that environmental system was designed in order to provide a comfortable atmosphere; it covered natural lighting, thermal, and acoustics; and it has been conducted by using the design builder and ECOTECT software programs. Then electro-mechanical systems was designed by using DIALUX EVO software program and the water supply, drainage systems had been accomplished.
