Part 2 – Problem 09: The Deliverable mentions “Your company has been tasked with designing a structural system that will accommodate this tapered geometry without altering the existing hospital structure.” If we had determined poor performance in part 1 where the structure would be at risk of failing, are we only to look for acceptable performance of the addition under the assumption that the existing structure will be edited and fixed in deliverable 4, or are we to make a structure that is expected to stand in this deliverable?

Yes, this is correct. In this deliverable, we are asking for a preliminary design for the additional structure that you believe will perform well with the existing building once the
existing building is retrofitted.
