This project is about the construction of an elevator shaft to replace the existing staircase and provide access to the underpass. The shaft was made of surface components consisting of reinforced concrete, ensuring its stability and durability with control of cracking at the same time.
The new Candlewood Suites on Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama is the first cross‑laminated timber (CLT) hotel constructed in the United States. It opened its doors in 2016.
This four-story hotel with 92 units serves the lodging needs of the Redstone Army post. 62,930 ft³ of cross-laminated timber and 12,925 ft³ of glued-laminated timber were used for the walls, floors, roof, stairwells, and elevator shafts.
