Part 1 is revised to this design, which should be simpler. All that is required in this version is to build two docks at each end, which will be connected by a tube, which is 2 kilometers long. The tube will be constructed of the metals mined from the asteroid. At 2 km, it will be able to generate 1 g of artificial gravity assuming 1 RPM spin.
The asteroid will be at the center and it can still be terraformed as you go along.
Wastes will be processed by using an energy source. This can be solar, nuclear, or chemical ( probably fuel cell of some sort). Here's a rough sketch of the design

| This design would achieve artificial gravity, life support, radiation shielding etc. as part of the goals indicated in part 1 |
Update:
Next in series, Part 3
