Pennsylvania Air National Guard Comm. Electronics Training Complex, State College. Pa.
Estimated Construction Cost $8,500,000.00 Total Square Foot: 45,000 SF. The facility consists of three separate buildings: a two-story office building, a single story maintenance shop, and a single story warehouse. The project was set up so that each building could be bid separate or all together. The buildings are framed with metal deck roofs supported by long span open web steel joists bearing on perimeter 12-inch thick insulated concrete masonry walls. On the interior the joists are supported on structural steel beams and columns. The foundation consists of a continuous perimeter wall footing with spread footings under the interior steel columns. The floor system in the office building is supported by composite joists. The top chord is made composite with the concrete topping by welding studs to the top chord of the open web steel joist. The composite vehicle maintenance building houses adjustable hydraulic lifts, a three-ton capacity bridge crane supported by an independent structural steel frame and a two-ton capacity monorail hoist supported from the open web steel joists. The warehouse includes a small arms vault. The warehouse floor was designed for forklift loads. The exterior walls were designed for retaining soil due to the sloping site.
