Charles Library at Temple University

Client: Mason Group, Radius Track*

The team provided constructability design-assist for a geometrically complex suspended wood-slat ceiling intricately hung from primary steel, adopting a pre-rationalized wood-slat panel system with 7 typical types to maintain the intended aesthetic. We executed fabrication model and shop drawing across the interior and exterior framing, coordinated with the integrated building enclosure, glazing, and GFRC wraps, and supported mock-ups and field layout. We created direct model-to-machine workflows and issued kitted material sequencing for efficient assembly onsite.
