The Hitchcock Center for the Environment makes it on the cover of the Fall 2019 edition of Wood Design & Building!

Structures Workshop just completed the structural design of the Hitchcock Center in Amherst, MA meeting the Living Building Challenge.   The project (DesignLab Architects) is aiming to be net zero energy, water independent, using all non-toxic materials (all locally sourced wood construction - black spruce gluelam beams, spruce decking, exterior northern cedar frames, eastern white pine, etc).  This is one of just a few LBC projects on the East Coast. This building is the 23rd certified Living Building in the world, and the 4th in Massachusetts! The International Living Future Institute completed a case study of the building which can be read here.

Artists for Humanity Canopy Project

DESCRIPTION

The new entry canopy was designed to give Artists for Humanity a better presence in their building and their neighborhood, and to provide shelter and visibility at their entry. The canopy was designed and built by high school students in the AFH program in conjunction with designLAB architects, Structures Workshop, and graduate architecture students from the Massachusetts College of Art + Design.

Queens Museum of Art Canopy

Location: New York, NY
Client/Architect: Capco Steel, M. Cohen and Sons
Engineer of Record:  Structures Workshop, Inc.
Arch: Grimshaw Architects / Amman and Whitney
The design is a seamless stainless steel cantilevered frame with a 3/8 thick edge on all three sides. We were the structural engineers for the canopy and designed the canopy within a 1/16 edge tolerance by unhinging the stainless steel from the deflection of the carbon steel cantilevers. Some of our BIM model screen shots are shown.
