Arched Hammer Beam Heavy timber Trusses for Grove City College Student Center
Grove City College Student Center
 

The custom timber frame roof and ceiling for Grove City College's Student Activities Center is made of douglas fir timbers and glue laminated arches. We worked with Hammond Construction, Engineering Ventures and The Ballinger Company as the architect on this project.

This timber frame incorporates both traditional joinery and some steel connections. For more pictures on this construction project, visit Grove City College's Construction Updates.

Click on the following links to view .pdf's of the framing plans, or scroll down to see more pictures. A 3D rotatable file of our frame can also be downloaded from this page. You may need to download an o2c viewer. It will take a minute to do, but it will be worth it! Click here to download the o2c Viewer
