CBU Rosa Deal School of Arts
This three story, 40,000 sq ft, steel frame building is currently under construction. The lateral force resisting system consists of Buckling Restrained Braced Frames, which are extremely efficient, and allowed us to limit their number to 5 total in the entire building. Steel connections in the two stairwells are exposed, and we designed them to aesthetically enhance the spaces. Structural steel, cold-formed steel, and steel bar-joists were used where appropriate to enhance the design whithout compromising economy.

Visible Music College Student Studios
The Visible Music College student housing, currently under construction, behind the iconic building at 200 Madison Avenue, showcases our innovation when working with confined urban sites and creative teams. This five story building, designed by Archimania, will have 63 micro-living spaces each equipped with a kitchen and bathroom. The building's structure is primarily conventional light-wood framing. Foundations consist of shallow footings bearing on Geopiers and are cantilevered on both sides due to adjacent building footings and infrastructure. The design phase was compressed and fast-tracked because the school wants to have students move in for the 2016 school year.

Woodard Residence
This four-story residence on a very tight downtown lot adjacent to the Amtrack railway is currently under construction. The top three stories are light-wood framed, bearing on a concrete block ground floor. The large wind area combined with narrow footprint and complex geometry, created many challenges in implementing a lateral force resisting system. We were able to do this primarily using light-guage steel, off-the-shelf fasteners and clips, to tie the building to the plywood shearwalls, thereby avoiding expensive steel frames.

Existing brick walls were anchored to the floor and roof framing for out-of-plane seismic and wind loads. The through-wall anchors' exterior plates were manufactured by National Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis. Read the Memphis Magazine story here.
