Covenant Woods Continuing Care Facility Structural Design

Richmond, VA

Stahl Sheaffer provided structural engineering services for the design and renovation of the Covenant Woods Health Care Center. The project included two new building additions with slab-on-grade basement, with framed first and second floor added to the north end of wing C. A new slab on grade building addition with framed second floor was designed to replace an existing one-story section of building on the south end of Wing A. Each section is a steel frame supporting the floors and light-gauge steel roof trusses.  Exterior walls are light-framed steel construction supporting siding or masonry veneer.
