Clark County Center for Community Health*

Vancouver, Washington

Designed as a full-operational essential facility, provided structural design services for this 180,000 sq. ft. four-story Class A office building constructed on the Department of Veterans Affairs Vancouver campus. The structural system included steel moment frames to provide maximum flexibility in space planning and premium earthquake resilience. Initially designed to house a 9-1-1 call center which required the building to be fully-functional following an earthquake. Worked closely with design team to strategically locate steel moment frames so the building could provide immediate occupancy in the event of a disaster.
