Structural design included choosing the structural system that was used, the design had been processed in details for all structural elements according to ACI code and UBC code, and it has been processed 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 manufactured 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. After that, quantity surveying calculations was conducted in order to estimate the preliminary cost of the project.
