College of Marin, Diamond PE Complex
Degenkolb designed the seismic retrofit and modernization of four buildings that comprise the physical education complex including the men’s and women’s locker room buildings, an office/exercise room building and a gymnasium. These one-story buildings have exterior block masonry bearing walls with long-span glulaminated wood beams and infill wood roof framing. The retrofit work involved anchorage of the exterior walls to the roof diaphragm and the infill of some clerestory windows with shear panels. The gymnasium is a truss steel moment frame with wood infill roof framing that was retrofit using exterior special concentric braced frames. The project also incorporated solar hot water heating for the pool and a series of new PV carports in the adjacent parking lot.
Features:
• LEED Gold, Solar Heated
Benefits:
• Refurbished and outfitted space for modern use

Why did you go into structural engineering?
I originally wanted to be an architect. My dad was a structural engineer and he used to teach classes at UC Berkeley’s School of Architecture. I would occasionally go with him. I really liked seeing how things were put together. Dad insisted that I go into structural engineering. It’s been a great career. I still get to work around wonderful architects and I really understand how to put things together.
Little Known Fact
One of my bucket list items is to do a triathlon. I’m an avid swimmer, so I just need to get the other two.
Question of the Day
What hobby would you go into if time and money weren’t an issue?
I’d either be a quilter on Etsy or write crossword puzzles.
