Beaverton Public Safety Center

Project Description

The three story, 72,400 sq. ft. Beaverton Public Safety Center opened May, 2020. A combination of structural steel, cross-laminated timber (CLT), concrete tilt up panels and floor slabs were used to ensure the building could withstand a severe earthquake triggered by a fault off the Oregon Coast. Dowco provided 3D modeling and detailing for both CLT and steel portions of the building. The BIM process allowed for real time collaboration between the two Dowco project teams which drastically reduced time resolving issues between steel and CLT portions of the building.
