Westwood
Library Facility
Westwood, CA
This 38’x 40’ (1,520 s/f) modular building. The building per
se was fabricated in ICG’s component company WCR’s Sacramento
facility and transported to and installed on site by crane on a concrete
perimeter foundation. Due to snow load requirements the roof was constructed
using conventional wood trusses installed on-site. (See photo in gallery)
Solution
/ Benefit
The project was a combined / hybrid facility that allowed for rapid and
cost effective fabrication of the building per se off-site – coupled
with on-site installation of the standard wood truss roof system to accommodate
the steep pitch necessary to carry the snow loads typically present in
the winter months in the Westwood area. The project was completed on time
and within budget by WCR in 1997.
