This multi-building modular student housing project at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo involved over 445 façade panels, including 122 uniquely shaped units that required precise coordination with a prefabricated steel structure. As part of the design-assist process, I applied a computational design workflow to address the full scope—from early design through engineering, fabrication, and install coordination.

​

Using Grasshopper and Rhino, I developed a system that automated the generation of cold-formed steel framing, tube supports, and panel connection details, producing fabrication-ready outputs. This approach also extended to fabrication tickets and shop drawings, ensuring that all elements were aligned with field conditions and modular tolerances.

​

A key part of the process was optimizing for Rok-On panel systems, including automated nesting strategies that minimized waste and streamlined production. The result was a façade system that balanced design flexibility with constructability and met the project's budget constraints.
