Boulder Community Health Hospital
Instead of demolishing an old hospital, one steel team opted for deconstruction, recovering 161 tons of structural steel for direct reuse in other community projects.
Canyon View High School
Exposed structural steel framing allows natural light to permeate deeply into the learning spaces, plus it supports solar panels that generate 20% of the campus’s energy usage.
National Museum of African American History and Culture
More than 4,000 tons of structural steel bring durability and design flexibility to this Washington, D.C. landmark.
U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum
Structural steel efficiently supports the museum's complex shapes, such as spiraling floors and wide open spacing, using a minimum amount of material.
