This new building to be constructed at the prominent Stanford University campus site adjacent to the Memorial Auditorium across from the Hoover Institution, will provide office and conference space for the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, a non-partisan economic policy research organization designed to unite economists from various entities within the university. The architectural design utilizes an L-shaped plan, columns offset from the exterior girders and a multi-story stair atrium. To properly accommodate these design features, Hohbach-Lewin, Inc. has performed linear dynamic analyses, which have included explicitly modeling diaphragm rigidity. The structural design is a structural steel frame incorporating buckling restrained braced frames.
This new 40,000 sf research office building was constructed to SLAC’s enhanced seismic criteria. Special features included an architectural entry stair and sunshades.
This $50M project consists of five new four-story dormitory buildings an administration building and a new dining facility encompassing 250,000 sf. Constructed in three fast track phases, this project added new campus housing for 1200 students.
Modified and expanded the kitchen and assembly dining spaces of this facility that is frequently utilized by alumni and new MBA graduate program students. Hohbach-Lewin, Inc. engineers served as the structural engineers for the original design of this facility.
This project comprised the renovation and seismic upgrade of four lakeside residential complexes at Stanford University. The work incorporated a seismic upgrade to the Stanford Class C performance level and was constructed in 12 weeks over a summer break.
The seismic retrofit of this building on Stanford University’s main Quadrangle utilized new shotcrete walls to replace the inner wythe of sand stone masonry at discrete locations. The arcade bracing incorporated pre-cast concrete columns to replace the existing sandstone columns.
The Engineering scope included a performance-based design of a new lateral system utilizing special concentric brace frames for the existing pre-fabricated metal warehouse building and its conversion to University Office Facilities. “Industrial Chic” was the Architectural design theme.
