Aegis fabricator partner Builders FirstSource (http://bldr.com/) is currently wrapping up one of the largest cold formed steel truss projects in the southeast. The brand new Colonel Robert L. Howard State Veterans Home is a massive 200,000 sq ft+ facility located in Pell City, AL.
According to website of general contractor Doster Construction Company (http://www.dosterconstruction.com/index.html):
“The home will have 254 private rooms in which 174 are skilled-care beds and 80 are domiciliary/assisted living units. Veterans will live in neighborhoods that will have two to three houses with 12 to 14 private rooms, personal bathrooms, living and dining areas with a complete kitchen for serving meals. Other features of the home include a community center, a barbershop and salon for both male and female veterans, and a sports bar. The home will also have a “Hall of Honor” dedicated to the men and women who have served their nation in uniform.”
Williams and Blackstock (http://www.wba-architects.com) served as the primary architect on the Pell City Veterans Home and Lane, Bishop, York and Delahay (http://www.lbyd.com/) provided structural engineering. Gasque Construction was the truss installation contractor.
Congratulations to the entire BFS team on a job well done on this true showpiece of a project for Ultra-Span cold formed steel trusses. We truly appreciate your accomplishment!
