Cost-effective construction of the two-story office was achieved by using a common structural system throughout the building. Special construction was required for the 8” steel reinforced floor slab. Stacked hardwoods create large live loading on floor slabs, requiring special soil compaction requirements for support.

Other features of the new design include a covered shipping area, which allows hardwoods to be loaded in dry conditions, avoiding water damage. Special saw dust collection systems include overhead vacuum ducts and in-floor conveyors will keep the facility clean and contain waste products for recycling.
