Hudson Chrysler Auto Repair Shop

This design for Hudson Chrysler Repair Shop presented a number of challenges, including pile foundations with columns mounted directly to the grade beams spanning between pile caps as well as accommodating numerous overhead doors with limited clearance between building frames.

Coordinating the design to eliminate the girt and many of the purlin braces allowed the door tracks to run close to the frames and up be-tween rafters providing clearance for sprinkler pipes.

The owner was also very concerned about sharp edges on trim around overhead door openings and man doors. Mock ups of the trims were constructed for review and approval by the owner. Once approved, the trims were custom fabricated.
