Gateway Center
Lakeport, CA

This was a large commercial/industrial facility of about 50,000 square feet built in Lakeport, CA.  It was a relatively complicated project as it involved constructing 2 large metal buildings and a smaller storage building using components from a used metal building built in the 1960's.  The building frames and components were arranged to create buildings of different heights, widths and lengths.  There were existing metal trusses that needed to be assembled and made to perform to meet current code requirements and new loading conditions.  New purlins and girts were installed with new siding to create a "Very Green" recycled building project.  A few well placed skylights helped make for natural lighting in all the spaces.
