Project Highlights

  • Hybrid structural system consisting of concrete and steel throughout the first and second levels provides solid flexibility and strength while wood with a lightweight concrete overlay on the third and fourth levels provide acoustic separation.
  • Beetle-kill pine wood boards used throughout the building and a solar wall used to pre-heat hot water contributed to the building’s LEED® Gold certification status.
  • Innovative architectural design includes splaying corridors and unique building angles.
