An Exposed and Expressive Signature Timber Structure
StructureCraft helped Turner Construction and Perkins & Will win this design-build project, and has, since early 2018, been working through SD, DD and now CD design phases. This will be StructureCraft’s second project in Washington DC, following the Arena Stage project 2010.
Responsibilities include full engineering and construction for the superstructure, including the folded plate DLT (dowel-laminated timber) roof supported by Glulam / Steel substructure. As engineer of record, we will also be responsible for the design of the concrete foundations.
