EMBRY-RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
OBJECTIVE:
Provide structural engineering services for a new 57,500 square-foot, two- story classroom and administration building at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach location.Completed in Summer 2007
DESCRIPTION:
This project included the use of interior structural steel framing along with load bearing exterior masonry walls to support the second floor and roof framing systems. The exterior utilized a combination of brick and Alucobond cladding to match the architectural theme throughout the campus.
INNOVATION:
This building utilized a cantilevered structural steel second floor framing system to allow the second floor to flare out over the first to achieve the desired architectural appearance. In addition, the building includes a two- story open atrium at the main entry with a cantilevered second floor balcony to allow for a voluminous area for various university functions.
