RedBuilt, a leading innovator in engineered wood product manufacturing, is proud to announce its successful collaboration in the construction of the Yale Divinity School's latest architectural project, which features custom-crafted open web trusses. As part of an esteemed institution's infrastructure development, these trusses are designed for exceptional performance and longevity, showcasing their ability to support expansive, modern spaces with architectural grace.
Bruner/Cott Architects lead the design team in concert with Yale’s Office of Facilities. Howeler + Yoon Architects and TyLin (formerly Silman) Structural Solutions collaborated with other firms to create the first Living Village project on an Ivy League campus. Tomlinson Hawley Patterson was the general contractor working closely with RedBuilt designers to develop a BIM digital twin of the building prior to fabricating the trusses.
In the Yale Divinity School project, RedBuilt's open web trusses have been employed to address the architectural demands for a complex roofline with sloped RedLam ridge beams within the historical university campus. This significant project highlights RedBuilt's capacity to merge tradition with innovation, providing a structural solution that complements the aesthetic and functional requirements of the school's visionary design.
The project required compliance with rigorous sustainability standards to support Yale University’s commitment to environmental responsibility. RedBuilt’s Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and Health Product Declarations (HPD) provided the design team with the information they needed to qualify RedBuilt’s products. RedBuilt also partners with the Sustainable Forestry Initiative to provide Chain of Custody Certification for RedLam LVL when required by project specifications.
RedBuilt has long been recognized for its collaboration with architects, engineers, and builders to deliver structural solutions tailored uniquely to each project's needs. Their open web trusses, renowned for their high strength-to-weight ratio and adaptability, enable the design and construction of both large-span and light commercial structures. These trusses provide not only structural integrity but also facilitate the seamless installation of plumbing, electrical conduits, and ductwork—an essential feature for maximizing efficiency in modern construction projects.
Tim Debelius, Director of Marketing at RedBuilt, emphasizes the company's dedication to craftsmanship and quality assurance: "Our commitment to precision engineering and customer collaboration continues to drive our success. At RedBuilt, each open web truss is fabricated to exact customer specifications, ensuring the highest levels of quality and reliability. Working alongside the talented teams of architects and engineers at Yale on this project has been a rewarding experience, and we are proud to play a part in the evolution of such a prestigious institution."
RedBuilt's open web trusses are available in nine distinct profiles, empowering architects to explore a wide spectrum of creative possibilities in building design. The flexibility provided by these engineered products makes them an ideal choice for structures requiring large open spaces without compromising on structural strength or integrity. These attributes make RedBuilt's trusses an invaluable asset in projects ranging from educational facilities like Yale Divinity School to commercial and industrial applications.
The application of RedBuilt's trusses at Yale Divinity School underscores their capacity to meet challenging design criteria while maintaining the highest standards of safety and durability. The technical representatives from RedBuilt's team worked closely with Yale's project architects and engineers, taking into account the complex requirements and specific goals of the design team to deliver solutions that surpassed expectations.
Beyond their application in this prestigious academic renovation, RedBuilt's open web trusses set a precedent for integrated design and functionality across diverse construction projects. By leveraging decades of expertise in wood engineering, RedBuilt continues to uphold its commitment to providing industry-leading products that are built to order, crafted with precision, and shipped upright to maintain quality control.
