Pickering Barn/Ecocenter
Issaquah, Washington

Reconstruction of an existing heavy timber historic hay barn into a retail and historical museum. The existing heavy timber structure was seismically upgraded with a tension-only braced system and the existing gravity systems were strengthened to meet current live load requirements. The project emphasized “Green Engineering,” concentrating on the use of pre-manufactured wood products made from waste wood products. The project is listed on the National Historic Register.
