Structural Engineering Project by raSmith Receives Design Excellence Award
WEST LAFAYETTE, IN — An Indiana project completed by raSmith's structural engineers was awarded Design Excellence Awards from the Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI).
Hub State Street in West Lafayette, Indiana received first place in the residential/hospitality award category. Hub State Street is an 11-story luxury student housing option near Purdue University. The modern mixed-use building is a mix of studio, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom units. The exterior utilizes prefinished prefabricated panels with all cold-formed framing and connection elements located dimensionally on the building.
The structure has 400 different prefabricated panels and 200 different prefabricated Stolite finish panels, all precisely dimensioned and fabricated to fit, like a puzzle. Two different trellises, located at the top parapet and a building corner, wrap two elevations and span across multiple panels.
CFSEI annually recognizes distinctive structural design projects with cold-formed steel components. Projects in the residential/hospitality, municipal, and commercial categories are judged on their design creativity, technical innovation, and overall excellence.
raSmith has one of the largest cold-formed steel engineering groups in the country, with the overall structural engineering practice comprising 30 individuals. The company applies its cold-formed steel engineering expertise to myriad project types nationwide, including residential, retail, hospitality, educational, and sports facilities.
