This 19,000 sq. ft. 3D timber structure is constructed of Parallam space trusses, beams, rafters, struts and turned support columns. All members were pre-fabricated in the shop along with the insulated structural roof panels and the acoustically insulated, finished ceiling panels. We erected and set the geometry of the main part of the roof by pre-assembling large hybrid wood-steel trusses on the ground, and fitting them rapidly into place.
