Lobar Engineering led the design team and performed the structural design for the design-build project.  The single-story 10,500 SF addition is framed with engineered wood trusses supported by a combination of load-bearing masonry block and structural metal studs.  The trusses over the fellowship hall span 60 feet and are a scissor design to create a cathedral ceiling.  The exterior façade is brick to match the existing structure.  The building has a system of continuous strip footings for the foundation.
