Maurer-Stutz, Inc. served as the structural consultant, working with the Architect, Larry Paustian, to design the multi-story outdoor mall building centered around a landscaped courtyard. The designed space was approximately three floors plus approximately 6,000 square feet in an attached bank building.

Differences in the exterior grade across the site required portions of the first story to be constructed with foundation walls along one side to retain the soil, with at-grade entrances directly to the second floor. The building was designed with two wings, connected by an elevated walk and clock tower over the east entrance to the courtyard. Structural systems designed by Maurer-Stutz included wood roof trusses, light frame shear walls, precast floor panels, masonry walls, and poured concrete foundation walls.

Maurer-Stutz, Inc. served as the prime engineering consultant, working with the General Contractor, King & Associates, to provide structural engineering design phase services for the construction of a new Infiniti dealership outside Omaha, NE.  The conceptual design followed corporate guidelines for the aesthetic appearance including the angled storefront glazing systems around the showroom.

Structural services for this building included the design of the steel floor and roof framing systems for the showroom and attached two stories of offices.  Concrete masonry walls extended around the service and parts areas of the building, and open-web steel bar joists spanned up to 75 feet over the service bays.  Lateral force resisting systems include rigid steel frames, metal stud shear walls, and the masonry walls.

Maurer-Stutz also coordinated with the Owner and Contractor to prepare a floor plan that met the requirements of the applicable building codes while providing a facility that served the needs of the Client.
