WHAT WE DID
Westbrook Elementary School, Design-Build, Roseville, CA
Degenkolb provided structural engineering for the new 52,000-square-foot Westbrook Elementary School for Roseville City School District. Located on a 12-acre site, this new, 800-student campus consists of seven buildings, including four classroom buildings, one kindergarten building, one administration and library building, and a multi-purpose building. All buildings are wood-framed with a lateral resisting-system consisting of wood shear walls. The structures utilized a modular framing system and engineering lumber framing for cost-effectiveness and to expedite construction.
