South Place Office Building
Tualatin, Oregon

VLMK Consulting Engineers provided the structural engineering services for this distinctive 73,000 square foot three-story office building.

Special features include an elegant curved entry faade, which combines brick veneer and a large glass curtain wall. The floor framing is comprised of concrete on metal deck over open-web steel joists. To minimize column intrusion, some of the joists were required to span up to 50 feet. For the lateral load resisting system, the project incorporated an innovative steel joist moment resisting frame, thereby maximizing the lineal footage of windows.
