New Structures

Project Challenge: Valparaiso University wanted to implement a dramatic design for a new Center for Library and Information Resources to upgrade their Campus facilities. The new library needed state of the art information retrieval and open space conducive to student comfort. Project Solution: Klein and Hoffman (K&H) guided the selection of structural systems to deliver an efficient combination of structural steel, precast concrete and masonry. In order to maximize volume, K&H implemented compact steel framing and precast members that helped define the architectural space. Careful attention to architectural details enabled K&H to deliver structural solutions that were utilized to express the creative architecture of this facility. K&H crafted the unique exterior precast concrete screen wall to represent the architect's intent of contextual bookshelves. This project was the recipient of the "Excellence in Concrete Construction Award" from the Indiana Ready-Mix Concrete Association. ARCHITECT: Esherick Homsey Dodge and Davis (EHDD) Architecture OWNER/CLIENT: Valparaiso University
