Degenkolb, working with Graham Baba Architects in coordination with Starbucks and the University of Washington provided structural engineering design for the new Starbucks inside the historic Suzzallo Library. Degenkolb evaluated existing floor slabs and coordinated all penetrations through the slabs for utilities. Along the back wall of the store is a 40-foot sculpture made with found coffee-related objects from Starbucks and historical objects from the Suzzallo Library. Degenkolb designed the support elements for this installation and steel detailing throughout the store.
I have climbed three of the five volcanoes in Washington.
I got to ride my bike alongside Robin Williams for a short stretch.
