Mulberry Connection
Summarize the project's program, features, and achievements: This development consisted of two 93,000 square feet speculative buildings. The developer wanted something a little different than just a big box. Interest was achieved with large spandrel panels and elevate panels supported on steel canopies.
What obstacles were overcome related to the schedule, budget, program, specification, site, etc. on this project? Schedule, budget and location were all challenges given the distance from the Denver Metro area.
Please communicate any engineering complexities or unique features of the panel design for this project. ? Large spandrel panels 52'-0 in length were supported on columns that did not extend to the roof. Complicated corner entry features included floating panels supported above the canopy structure.
