Project Highlight

Expanding this daycare facility required thoughtful structural integration between the new addition and the existing building while maintaining reliable performance and constructability. The addition incorporates a steel superstructure supported on conventional concrete foundations, with mass timber elements contributing to the architectural character of the space.

Working around existing foundations presented unique challenges, requiring careful coordination to ensure the new and existing structures performed as intended. Our team developed structural connections and detailing that allowed the addition to integrate seamlessly while maintaining appropriate separation between lateral load-resisting systems.

By combining creative problem-solving with a strong understanding of structural behavior, we delivered a durable and well-integrated addition that supports the continued growth of this important community facility.
