Description:  The structural system consists of steel framing with K-braces around the interior elevator shaft to resist lateral loads. The first floor is slab-on-grade and the second floor, third floor, and mechanical attic are concrete supported on 1" composite steel decking spanning between steel joists. The membrane roof is carried by steel joists. Foundations consist of column spread footings and strip footings beneath the exterior walls. The exterior facade is brick with steel stud backup.

Special Considerations:  Fitting the programmed spaces onto a tight urban site in downtown Clarksburg created special construction constraints. While this design-build project was done in cooperation with the Owner/Contractor to provide a fast-track project our firm also provided contract administration for the overall project. Our project team was competitively selected.

Construction Cost: $6,450,000

Completion Date: December 1998
