Wenatchee, WA

SSF provided structural engineering services for the 21,800 SF Wenatchee Valley Reentry Center, a rehabilitation and transitional facility for men and women moving back into the community from the State Department of Corrections. SSF teamed with KMD Architects to remodel and renovate an existing concrete building and add a third-story program space to the adjacent 2-story brick building. Both buildings were formerly the Deaconess Hospital. The third-floor addition has steel framing with open web steel joists, light gauge steel exterior walls, and window openings, which were added to the existing concrete floors. ADA accessibility was brought up to compliance, along with an overhaul of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, interior and exterior stairs, and an elevator.
