Project Overview

The structural system consists of a lower-level area constructed on grade, enclosed by a perimeter retaining wall. The ground floor slab is supported by concrete columns, forming the base for the steel superstructure. From this slab, a steel framework rises, incorporating a mezzanine level that is also supported by steel columns. The roof structure is composed of simply supported steel beams spanning between the columns. There are two external roof column per gridline that extend down to a separate base.

Project Details
Due to the nonstandard nature of many connections, the fabrication process was complex and the erection phase proved time-consuming. However, close collaboration between the project team and the steel contractor ensured that issues during erection were minimal.
Managing programme and time were the most critical aspects of this project. Specific design considerations were required to ensure the erection process was the most time efficient.
Benefits of Steel in this Application

The Eagles Nest project clearly demonstrates the versatility, strength, and architectural elegance of steel through the application of GRS Klip-Tite™ for both roofing and side cladding. Steel's ability to accommodate long spans, its high strength-to-weight ratio, and adaptability to this design made it the ideal choice for this modern educational or commercial facility. The clean lines and crisp finishes achievable with steel accentuate the bold yet refined aesthetic of the structure.

Testimonials

The pinned connection to the column must have made erection quite difficult.
