The University of Michigan received a $25 million grant to replace C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, a 40-year old facility that serves children from around the world. Working with the University and Barton Malow, Degenkolb and Associates developed a design modification to replace the concrete core with a steel core, reducing field time and maintaining the project schedule. Working with Midwest Steel, Degenkolb also designed the bracing/shoring system to erect a 36 foot deep, 150 foot clear span truss in its specified cambered shape.
