This 10,000 sq.ft. undulating roof, constructed of nail-laminated lumber and kingposted to span the 35' wide atrium, was entirely pre-fabricated in the shop using jigs to simulate the arched support beams. The resulting warped panels, 40 in number, were then coated, trucked to site and erected by our crews.
