The second Ronald McDonald House in Spokane offers temporary, free accommodations for families of children receiving lifesaving health care treatment while visiting Spokane’s medical resources. The facility provides lodging 12,410 nights per year. The three-story multi-family residential building, owned and operated by the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Inland Northwest, is a 63,000-sf facility which includes 56 temporary living units, quiet rooms, a movie room, exercise room, outdoor patios, covered garage, fireplaces, and laundry facilities.
DCI Engineers was the structural and civil EOR for this project. The structural team designed the primary wood framing systems and concrete podium, plus coordinated efforts when the project owner expedited the project schedule. The civil team evaluated the existing site survey and developed the demolition, erosion control, grading, storm water, and utility plans.
