Project Stories
Using technology to replicate historic features
To replicate the building exterior, such as the height of the existing roof line, the team laser scanned the exterior of the building. They provided the information to the architect, engineers and the fabricator of the roof scissor truss system to incorporate the dimensions into the design.
