Structural System
• In Academy, the Load travels from the roof, to the joists, to the joist girders, to a CMU wall.
• Once the load reaches the wall, it then travels down to the building foundation and then to the ground.

Structural Change Explanation
I made this structural change because it made the joist girders smaller. By doing so, this
made them easier to work with and made the job cheaper.
