The Structural Engineers Association of Arizona has awarded Wright Engineers a Merit Award in Structural Engineering for our work on the Chasse Building Team Headquarters in Tempe, Arizona. The challenge was to transform an existing warehouse building into a showpiece that seamlessly integrates steel, wood, concrete and masonry elements. Wright Engineers and Aline Architecture Concepts worked with Chasse to implement their vision that included a clean-lined, cantilevered steel channel stairway structure that appears to float over the reception desk; a cantilevered parking shade/balcony structure that provides connections to the outdoors; removal of an interior CMU load bearing wall to provide an open conference space; and new solar tubes and large openings in exterior CMU walls to flood the space with natural light.
MOUNTAIN VIEW VILLAGE
Phase 2 of Mountain View Village, a town center style mixed-use retail development in Riverton, Utah is under construction. When completed, this phase will add 9 buildings totaling nearly 300,000 square feet of office, retail, and restaurant plus other site structures and amenities to the 85-acre site. CenterCal Properties is the developer. Architects Orange is the project architect. Wright Engineers is pleased to provide the structural engineering services. The project is set to fully open in mid-2021.
FERTILITY CENTER OF LAS VEGAS
Las Vegas-based SR Construction is leading the design-build effort for a new 18,500 square foot facility for the Fertility Center of Las Vegas. The Fertility Center of Las Vegas was Nevada’s first fertility clinic established in 1988 and is recognized internationally as one of the leading fertility clinics in the world. PGAL is the project’s architect. Wright Engineers is honored to provide structural engineering services for a project that will benefit so many families.
WRIGHT STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SCHOLARSHIP
