The project:
In 2018, a 25,000 square foot atrium was completed which transformed the previously unused plaza into a branded activation space. The atrium rises the full height of the existing building and features an amphitheater, meeting areas and learning spaces.

My scope of work:
My scope of work includes the upward-facing skylight with integrated snow guards, the front-facing curtainwall, the canopy, gutters and perimeter flashing with built-in expansion joints. I was brought in partway through the initial design stage and assisted with the shop drawings for the customer and architect’s approval. I also generated the glass sizes and the fabrication & assembly drawings for our shop to produce all of the framing and brake metal.
