Innovative timber construction.
"Canadian structural engineer, StructureCraft, worked with consultant, KPFF Consulting Engineers, to build a specially crafted, dual-curve mass timber roof in a long-span format in University of Idaho’s (U of I’s) basketball arena in Moscow, Idaho.
The engineering team developed, shaped, and optimized the curved roof, ensuring its feasibility for fabrication and construction. This meticulous process not only enhanced the architectural vision, but also addressed the various constraints and challenges associated with a doubly curved structure spanning a 5,760-m2 (62,000-sf) arena."
