Single Slope Buildings with Cantilevered Wall

This 18,300 sf structure was created in two sections, the tower building and boulder building. The tower building is a 60’ tall single slope structure with wall panels that cantilevered past the eave creating a parapet look. The boulder building is a 50’ tall single slope structure attached to the common wall of the tower building. This section includes a full mezzanine with support beams for climbing walls on the first floor and four boulders on the second floor. The second floor is a mezzanine designed by ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ utilizing Vulcraft Joist and Verco Decking. Buckle restraint bracing and spandrel beams were used in both sections to support climbing walls.

The functionality of the building as a climbing gym required large clear spans as well as sturdy main frames to support the climbing walls. The spans and support, which are achievable by utilizing the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ PEMB system, created an ideal synergy of both form and functionality.
