Our sales professional was in the Philly area presenting AIA Lunch and Learns, and took the opportunity to visit SAP's North America Headquarters in Newtown Square, PA. This is a LEED Platinum certified office building and we provided Forest Stewardship Council certified glulam for it in 2008-09.This was the first chance any of our team had to see the finished building.
These photos show some of the interesting design features. The base connection includes a true steel hinge, with the connection to glulam completely concealed using countersunk and plugged bolts. The angular, top of column connection is accomplished with a large, embedded steel plate, again with countersunk and plugged bolts.
