Projetos arquitetônico e estrutural para um galpão de práticas laboratoriais de construção civil no IFMG, campus Governador Valadares

Abstract

This article presents a proposal for the architectural and structural design of a facility for the Federal Institute of Minas Gerais (Governador Valadares campus), intended for practical civil construction laboratory activities. The proposal aims to address the current lack of infrastructure for such practical activities, thereby making instruction more dynamic and meaningful. To this end, bibliographic, documentary, and field research was conducted to identify requirements and constraints. The design was developed based on the gathered information, while also prioritizing accessibility, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency. Furthermore, sustainable solutions—such as natural ventilation and provisions for photovoltaic panels—were incorporated. A metal framework was selected for the structure, optimizing the design by reducing costs and loads while maintaining structural safety and effectiveness. The resulting architectural and structural designs demonstrate that the proposed solution meets both academic and financial requirements, providing a suitable space for practical instruction.
