Research Locale
Polytechnic College (SLPC) is a public non-sectarian educational institution with eight satellite
campuses in the province of Quezon. Its main campus is located at Southern Luzon State
University is located at Brgy. Kulapi Lucban, Quezon. It has students from different cities and
facilities, the proposed project could be built at the University which can aid the increasing
Research Design
This design research is for the purpose of designing the expansion of engineering
laboratory building that follows the standard room student ratio with accordance to NSCP 2010
and ACI Specification. The researchers used the descriptive way of data gathering procedure
because this study relates to determine the accurate design of the building as well as its
construction cost. Different formulas and concepts of Reinforced Concrete Design based on
NSCP and ACI Specifications are to be used in order to make the realization of the said study.
Sources of Data
The necessary data will be gathered through unpublished thesis, books, internet, and
