Bethlehem Monastery Heavy Timber Frame

Bethlehem Monastery of the Poor Clares*

This heavy timber project features a douglas fir timber frame for the Bethlehem Monastery of Poor Clares. The 2-1/2 story frame reaches just shy of 45 feet at the top of the cupola. We worked with IMC Construction Company, Meyer Consulting Engineers Corporation, Engineering Ventures, Create Architecture Planning & Design and
The Mills Building Corporation.
