This project consisted of two facility buildings at the main entrance to the ranch. The community complex building is an 11,000 square foot, two-story wood structure, housing administrative offices for the ranch, a public assembly area, and the post office. The police services building is approximately 3,050 square feet with a four-car garage and dispatch offices. Typical construction techniques with structural wood floor and roof systems. Non-typical construction for the 20-foot tall assembly space with retractable partition wall and 6-foott overhangs at the exterior deck and roof framing.

A 10,000 square foot addition to an existing warehouse building, The Community Food Co-Op in Bozeman, Montana combines numerous steel and wood features with existing masonry. Due to the openness of the building, the lateral force resisting system consists of a series of large steel moment frames with wood shearwalls. The roof system is a combination of timberframe wood trusses and sandwich panels. The upper floor is concrete on steel bar joists supported with open span steel beams. The exterior porch roof and floor are supported with thirty foot tall steel “mast” columns and steel rods forming a unique support system.
