MBJ partnered closely with the architect throughout the design process, guiding decisions on wood species, finishes, and both visible and concealed connection strategies to achieve the desired architectural aesthetic. Prior to selecting a mass timber supplier, MBJ guided the team through structural and architectural possibilities, and later served as the technical liaison between the architect and mass timber supplier. Our engineering contributions shaped several signature elements of the building, including the double-beam atrium framing that integrates lighting and MEP, the elegant second-floor bridge supported by roof-beam hangers for vibration control, the feature stair that mirrors the bridge’s boxed-channel form, and the steel framing that supports the two-story atrium façade and west terrace fins. MBJ’s detailed coordination and structural leadership helped transform this first-of-its-kind mass timber facility into a beautifully executed community hub that delivers long-term performance, sustainability, and a distinctive user experience.
