Noted as the first Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center in the state, the only pediatric emergency department in the region, and the first emergency department constructed under a parking deck in North Carolina, this $8 million new construction project completed in 2010. Conceptualized with a one-of-a-kind “rollercoaster” style entry feature by the architect, the biggest challenge for SKA’s structural engineers was to ensure the integrity of the design of this feature, while maintaining safety and staying within code guidelines. SKA’s design team performed structural engineering, waterproofing, and roofing design services.
