Although cost was a major reason
behind the decision to use a metal building system for the new
fitness center, the facility's appearance is enhanced through the
treatment of the framing system as an architectural element. The
26,500-square-foot structure's reverse haunch CB-4 framing system
was manufactured by Varco Pruden Buildings. The building is 195
feet long by 138 feet wide with 30-foot eaves. Varco Pruden also
supplied the horizontally oriented ribbed panels, vertically
installed flush panels and the SSR standing-seam metal roof
panels.
