Bow Lake Transfer Station
 

The North Transfer Station, an award-winning project recognized with the AISC IDEAS2 National Award, includes a new 67,000 sq. ft. tipping and transfer building, a 10,000 sq. ft. reuse/recycling building, and a 2,500 sq. ft. administration building in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood. 

​

Integrated Design Engineers crafted a structural solution that achieved a 200-foot clear span while adhering to community height regulations. This innovative design features a tri-chorded roof truss system that garnered exemplary LEED daylighting credits. A standout element is the "floating corner" with a 50-foot cantilever truss, facilitating truck access at the lower level without any obstructive columns or walls.
