The goal of this project was to design a Class A office building using mass timber, present the client with a fire analysis, design an alternative building for advanced structural resilience, and include a repair scope with cost estimate evaluation for each option. Three options for design were analyzed. The first option was rated Type IV-A, but would require extensive structural repair after a time-equivalent fire. The second option was rated at Type IV-A and had the ability to host Class B office space after a time-equivalent fire with only non-structural repair. The third option was rated at Type IV-A and had the ability to host a Class A office space after a time-equivalent fire with only non-structural repair.
