“An Act of Co-Creation": Leers Weinzapfel Associates’ Multi-Cultural Hub at Williams College, The Davis Center, is featured in Architectural Record. A community-based design process, mountain-inspired roofscape, and “light” mass timber strategy characterize William’s historic renovation of two existing student buildings and an energetic new bridge between them. With a proactive emphasis on sustainability at all scales, the project is expected to gain Living Building Challenge Petal Certification and net-zero embodied carbon by the end of the year.

Long Spans with ConTruss The Contruss system offers the advantage of covering long spans. By examining the elements of the Contruss system, it can be observed that the two concrete layers and orthogonal webs are arranged in a manner that creates a highly rigid and two-way slab. This structural configuration allows architects to design spans that can reach up to 20 meters in length. The ability to provide long spans brings significant aesthetic benefits from an architectural perspective. Additionally, it allows for the accommodation of more parking lots, which is particularly advantageous in projects with limited land availability. #ContrussSystem #LongSpans #StructuralInnovation #ArchitecturalDesign #AestheticBenefits #ParkingSpaceOptimization #ConstructionTechnology #EngineeringSolutions #InnovativeSlabSystem #BuildingDesign
