Abstract
This project represents an integrated design for the Academy of Vocational and Technical
Training in the Silat Al-Harithiya area in the city of Jenin in order to be a model for enhancing
the culture of individuals and directing their views towards vocational training in society.
Though the improvement in the demand for vocational education, there is still a brief view of
this field of education.
This is due to the social background in preferring academic education over vocational
education, which has led to weakness in the fields of work, `industry and agriculture.
Therefore, we were focused on vocational education and opened the way for those wishing to
enroll in it.
From here we came to the idea of designing a vocational training centre through which work
would be made to accommodate the increasing numbers of students coming to it and dropping
out of schools in order to establish it on scientific, architectural and environmental
foundations.
The building has been designed according to systems that reduce energy consumption, such
as the use of some insulators and the exploitation of natural energy such as the sun and
innovative systems. The design took into account people with special needs in terms of the
width of the corridors and their way of accessing them, as well as the general safety
requirements of the buildings.
In regarding constructions, the appropriate structural system for this building has been
determined and all problems resulting from the presence of some curves in the design of the
building was solved. The mechanical part includes designing the elevators has been taken into
account the needs of the building. For this project, the quantities and specifications have been
calculated.
In this project, hard work has been done to keep on compatibility between all the different
systems to avoid any problems during the life of the facility to reduce maintenance and
operating costs. The project methodology has been depended on research to bring the
necessary standards, information and data, then understanding and comparing them, and then
proposing the necessary amendments that raise the level of the project.
