Hohbach-Lewin, Inc. provided structural engineering services for the recently opened John A. & Cynthia Fry Gunn Building for the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR). This conference and office facility at Stanford University, near Hoover Tower, features exterior detailing and materials at the exterior that refer to the Romanesque architecture of the campus' original inner quadrangle. The stone cladding and steel window system required careful attention to structural detailing to provide compatibility with the building's modern steel buckling restrained braced frame lateral force resisting system. The architects were Ike Kligerman Barkley in association with Kornberg Associates.
The Central County Campus pictured above is a LEED Certified, $16.5 million, 77,000 SF facility in Newport, Oregon. The campus, designed by gLAs Architects, houses classrooms, labs, vocational and trade shops, a library, student services and administrative and instructional support functions.
Construction of the Central Campus includes a variety of materials: the 2-story portion utilizes CMU walls at the first floor, steel wide flange beams and columns supporting a second floor concrete deck, and wood stud walls and a wood framed roof above the second floor. The single story portions of the facility are wood framed, with glue-laminated long span trusses at the high bay community room. Construction of the facility was completed in the summer of 2009.
