Project Description
FROM STRUCTURECRAFT:
The completed 7-storey T3 Atlanta office building, at 205,000 sqft timber area, is currently the largest mass timber building in the US.
T3 Atlanta is the second T3 office building (“timber, transit, technology”) by the developer Hines. For the second time, StructureCraft was selected by Hines as the mass timber structural engineer and builder for the timber superstructure. The first T3 in Minneapolis was completed in 2016 and helped spark the mass timber “revolution” that is currently being experienced in North America.
Both T3 mass timber office buildings have demonstrated that, through efficient design and construction, timber can be used competitively in large scale commercial office spaces.
The gravity system for this building is comprised of Dowel Laminated Timber (DLT) floor and roof panels over a Glulam post and beam substructure. The lateral system consists of perimeter and internal steel brace frames, which StructureCraft installed in sequence with the timber structure, allowing for both cost and schedule savings compared to a cast-in-place concrete shear system.
Team members included architects HPA and DLR Group, MKA as base building engineer and New South Construction as the general contractor.
T3 Atlanta was recently honored with the Exceptional Merit for Sustainable Design Award by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) as part of its annual Development of Excellence Awards Program, and more awards are in store for this innovative timber building.
