University of Southern Maine Community Education Center

Associated Design Partners Inc provided the engineering of the exterior aluminum curtain wall framing for the 2-story Common Space and attached skywalk at the USM Community Education Center. Custom connections exposed to the interior space were designed to meet stringent aesthetic requirements.

University of Southern Maine Science Building 2005- Curtain Wall Framing

The unique challenges of this project required that a new, 3-story aluminum curtain wall be engineered to extend from the top of an existing 2-story faзade. The new and existing systems were analyzed as one continuous unit to meet the project guidelines. Associated Design Partners Inc. developed a custom engineered connection to facilitate the transfer of loads between the two systems.

Matthews Brothers -2005
Pre-Fabricated Metal Building Foundation

Due to aggressive schedule requirements, the foundation of this 45000 sf commercial warehouse was fast tracked and the design completed in 3 weeks. Engineering considerations included concrete retaining walls, warehouse slab on grade, shallow footing design to resist metal building gravity, up-lift, and horizontal column loads.

Grand Victorian Hotel
Light Gauge Curtain Wall Engineering

The exterior walls of this 5-story oceanfront hotel consisted of a combination of load bearing and in-fill light gage steel wall framing. Engineering of built-up light gage window jambs and headers were designed to transfer a portion of the gravity loads from the roof framing to the supporting concrete foundations. Because of shipping and erection logistics, the load-bearing jambs were designed with specialty splices to allow for segmented handling and assembly.
