Oregon Health & Science University Elks Children’s Eye Clinic Expansion

This five-story building expansion includes a footbridge that spans a drive lane and connects to the existing Marquam Hill Casey Eye Institute and adjacent parking garage. For this project, which utilized Integrated Project Delivery Method principles, MKA incorporated long spans into the structural design to eliminate nearly all interior columns and allow maximum floorplan flexibility.  In addition, the design employed composite steel framing and special moment frames to optimize proprietary SidePlate connections.
