Abstract: Lutsyk I.O., Barabash V.M. (supervisor). Construction of a Multi-Apartment Residential Building with an Integrated Shelter at 21 Shevchenka Street, Mykolaiv, Lviv Region. Master’s Qualification Thesis. – Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv, 2025. Extended Abstract The master’s qualification thesis is dedicated to the design of a multi-apartment residential building with an integrated shelter located at 21 Shevchenka Street in the town of Mykolaiv, Lviv Region. The project aims to provide modern, safe, and comfortable living conditions in compliance with current national building regulations, civil protection requirements, and energy efficiency standards. A key component of the design is the integration of a dual-purpose protective shelter that ensures the necessary level of safety for residents in emergency situations. The purpose of the project is to create a modern, safe, and comfortable multi-apartment building with an integrated shelter that meets the needs of residents, enhances the level of civil protection, and contributes to the development of the local residential infrastructure. The architectural section substantiates the spatial and planning organization of the residential building and defines optimal solutions for the layouts of apartments, technical premises, and auxiliary zones. Functional zoning, the structure of vertical and horizontal communication routes, compliance with standards for insolation, natural lighting, energy efficiency, accessibility, and fire safety are analyzed in detail. Special attention is given to the design of the integrated shelter, including its functional layout, capacity requirements, sealing measures, ventilation systems, and ability to operate autonomously during emergency conditions. The structural section focuses on selecting the building’s load-bearing system, determining materials and structural types, analyzing loads, and performing calculations of the main structural components. Technical solutions for foundations, floor slabs, roofing, and envelope structures are presented with regard to soil characteristics and site conditions. Reinforced structural elements ensuring the protective capacity of the shelter in accordance with civil defense standards are emphasized. The engineering systems section covers the design of internal building networks — ventilation, heating, water supply, wastewater disposal, electrical supply, low-voltage systems, and fire protection installations. The rationale for equipment selection, system configurations, and the implementation of energy-efficient technologies is provided. For the shelter, separate systems are designed, including ventilation, emergency lighting, sanitary units, and essential life-support systems. The technological section presents the organization of the construction process, determining the sequence and methods of key construction and installation operations, as well as the required machinery, labor resources, and materials. A construction schedule has been developed, with justification of the duration of major stages and the overall construction timeline. Issues related to site infrastructure, logistics of material delivery, and placement of temporary facilities are addressed. Additional attention is given to occupational safety, fire protection, and minimizing the environmental impact of construction works. In conclusion, the master’s thesis presents a comprehensive project of a modern residential building with an integrated civil protection shelter that meets the requirements of reliability, comfort, safety, and energy efficiency. The results demonstrate the author’s ability to solve complex architectural, engineering, and construction tasks and to apply an integrated approach to designing contemporary residential infrastructure. Graphic Part - The master’s qualification thesis is presented in the form of ten graphical sheets containing the main architectural solutions, technological and organizational schemes of construction processes, as well as a full set of structural drawings developed and calculated in the structural section.
