Update: Site Observation Update Week Mar 2nd

March 07, 2020 Posted by: Anna Mateljak

This week the building framing continues, and it is exciting to see the building shape come together. The glulam, stress-rated engineered wood, support beams were erected at the entry side of the building. Once those were set, the entry side window locations were framed and the support brackets for the entry trellis were installed. To round out a productive week, exterior wall sheathing started, which strengthens the wall systems, provides anchoring surfaces for siding, and gives a layer of protection to outside elements. Remaining interpretive plaza flatwork formwork, rockery wall construction, gravel backfilling, and general site clean-up continue in other parts of the construction site.


The vertical glulam support posts were framed and erected for the window framing and roof support beams.


Once the exterior wall and ceiling support beams were installed, framing the walls for the windows and entry trellis were completed.


With the glulam support posts in place and the framing of the exterior walls and windows built, sheathing the walls on the south side of the building started.
