Project Manager at Timberlab

This is some amazing drone footage by Holmes of our UCSC Kresge project! This job has become a milestone in my career with Timberlab/Swinerton and I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Bhushan Nankar (Shawn) and the field team led by Jose Rodriguez! This project consists of four buildings consecutively built using Pre-fabricated Light Framed Wall Panels (Pacific Wall Systems, Inc.) Glulam Columns and Beams (ZIP-O-LAMINATORS LLC, HASSLACHER NORICA TIMBER) and CLT (KLH USA, Structurlam) with Holmes working tirelessly through design of the mass Timber components.

Four mass timber buildings are rising among the redwoods for University of California, Santa Cruz's Kresge College Renewal! Three five-story residence halls and a curvilinear academic building will serve a growing student population. Design upholds the experimental merging of academic/social/environmental space behind Kresge's founding. Through Design-Build delivery, Holmes is providing fire and structural engineering for the mass timber components. Our engineers maintained optimal exposure of the CLT panels, glulam columns and beams throughout. https://lnkd.in/gRMCyCV Architect (New Construction): Studio Gang Contractor: Swinerton/Timberlab Mass Timber Suppliers: Structurlam & KLH USA Holmes Team: Eric McDonnell, Oliver Till, Donovan Llanes, Patrik Gustafsson #masstimber #designbuild #ucsc #kresgecollege #fireengineering #structuralengineering #dronevideo

Thanks for the share and kind words Kyle! We so enjoy working with you and seeing all four buildings come together swiftly.
