Temple de Hirsch
Seattle, Washington

A FEMA 178 evaluation of an existing temple and educational facility for determining the parameters of a capital improvement campaign. The project involved four separate structures. The sanctuary and chapel are two-story structures with two-level roofs. In each case, the two-level roof was constructed of structural steel clad with pre-cast panels supported by a reinforced concrete podium. The building that currently houses the Seattle Academy is a two-story reinforced concrete structure. The Jaffe Religious School is a two-story wood framed structure with exterior load bearing unreinforced masonry walls.
