Graduate Hotel

Bloomington, Indiana

Synopsis: A new six story boutique hotel at Indiana University

Our Scope:

• Approximately 6800 LF of prefabricated load bearing walls
• Exterior and interior bearing walls
• Installation of exterior sheathing
• Exterior shear walls
• Coordination with architect, structural engineer of record, general contractor, framing contractor and HVAC contractor
• This building was converted to cold-formed steel bearing walls as a late decision. As a result, much of the design concept was left open for the specialty engineer. Shrock Engineering and Shrock Prefab met this challenge head-on by taking over the coordination with the design team and construction team to offer value engineering and further reduce structural steel required. The result is a unique building with extensive and large clear span openings. The mixed media façade also required high levels of detail to ensure fire rating continuity and proper reveals to ensure a seamless and coherent look.
