The 153,000 square foot, 53 bed hospital connects to an adjacent 113,500 square foot health center. The four-story hospital will provide services including emergency, surgery, intensive care, advanced cardiology, radiology, a birth center, and an on-site pharmacy. The hospital is composite steel construction with a braced frame lateral system. The three-story building structure was designed to accommodate future vertical expansion in several areas, including a helipad on top of the future bed tower.

The facility is home to the City's Emergency Operations Center, Emergency Coordination Center, Network Operations Center, Traffic Control Center, and Data Center. Two buildings form the facility, the smaller of which accommodates storage and deliveries as well as hosting the primary control center for the transmission tower located between it and the main building. The main building is five stories containing the major functions. The composite steel structure is designed to withstand impact in the event of a collapse of the adjacent transmission tower, is classified as Occupancy Category IV Essential Facility, and designed to withstand wind speeds of a Category I hurricane.

The developer revitalized an entire city block within the city's Hillsborough Street Corridor adjacent to North Carolina State University.  The high-density, mixed-use project consists of 800 student housing beds within 300 residential units over 20,000 square feet of street level retail and amenity space below the podium level.  The structural system is a post tensioned cast in place podium slab supporting four and five stories of Type V wood framed construction all surrounding a precast concrete parking structure. The project was one of the first in North Carolina to implement six stories of wood framed construction.

Part of the Town's park system, the Veterans Freedom Park is 12 acres dedicated to honoring the sacrifices of American service men and women by providing an inviting and intimate space for visitors to reflect on the history and contributions of our veterans. The 90-foot-tall granite clad monument has a pentagon shaped footprint approximately 20 feet wide which tapers over its full height. At four intervals of the monument’s height, the pentagon reduces by 20 percent, ultimately reducing to a triangular shape for the upper spire. The monument is surrounded by a circular granite paved plaza enclosed by architectural granite walls forming a sheltered space around the spire's base.

This 38,300 square foot, two-story office building serves as the administrative and support area for a large pharmaceutical manufacturing facility. The building houses offices, cafeteria, conference rooms and security center. The project achieved LEED® Silver certification through the use of composite slab on bar joist floor structures supporting a raised floor system utilized for under floor air distribution. Most of the building structure is exposed and framing was specifically arranged to be visually appealing and steel braced frame connections were carefully detailed for architectural context.

The Port City's Convention Center was developed as an economic driver to attract business and to spur activity in downtown Wilmington, NC. The center includes 107,000 square feet of convention space, dedicated to a main exhibit hall, ballrooms and meeting rooms. Also included on the nine-acre project site is a 680-space parking deck and a 12,000 square foot event lawn.  The project was located on a brownfield site which had been used as a construction waste dump for many years. A structural, two-way flat plate slab on grade supported by steel H-pile foundation system was used to contend with the poor site conditions.

The historic three-story, wood framed structure with basement, originally constructed in 1907, underwent a comprehensive renovation to update MEP systems and meet current life/safety and accessibility codes.  The original architectural elements were restored and attic space was structurally retrofitted to allow it to become occupied space housing the social innovation incubator. An elevator and stair were added to the building. Repair and remediation of a significant portion of the existing load-bearing masonry walls were also required.

This comprehensive renovation of an existing 400 bed dormitory constructed in 1952 included the addition of a five-story, 20,000 square foot wing. The three story building required the upgrade of all systems which necessitated significant structural modifications to the existing cast in place concrete structure to accommodate new MEP systems.  The addition was made to the building to provide new lounges, study rooms, elevators and stairs for the facility.  The addition structure is cast-in-place concrete.

The project included the development of a luxury, multi-building 280-unit apartment complex consisting of three and four story, wood framed buildings.  A main feature of the complex is the striking stand-alone two level clubhouse and amenity building. The clubhouse structural system is conventionally stick framed load bearing walls supporting prefabricated wood floor and roof trusses. Plywood shear walls are used for lateral force resistance and the foundation system is a slab on grade with integral turndown beams.

A composite steel superstructure was used for the 75,000 square foot multi-use facility which is home to train maintenance areas, control center, and a mezzanine office area. The facility was designed to accommodate incoming and outgoing train traffic and to store the South Corridor’s fleet of light rail vehicles during their maintenance and servicing within the facility. The existing site had been previously filled with substantial depths of uncontrolled fill which required the use of a combination micropile and driven H-pile foundation system to support the structure over the uncontrolled fill. The structural design also incorporated equipment and track loading, multiple pit and mezzanine platforms, and supports for multiple cranes and lifts.
