College of the Sequoias, Tulare Campus – Phase 1

Lane Engineers provided structural engineering services for the architect from the schematic design phase through construction. Phase 1 includes two two-story steel-framed classroom buildings with concrete decks. The lateral design included steel deck diaphragm with steel special moment resisting frames. An elevated walkway connecting the two buildings with concrete special moment resisting frames was also included as part of this project. The third building consisted of a welding training facility with steel moment resisting frames and light gage steel stud walls with a lightweight concrete mezzanine. The last building was an equipment building designed with steel roof framing members and concrete masonry walls.
