Project Portfolio - University of North Carolina-Greensboro Dormitory - Greensboro, NC
The five-story Dormitory at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro was constructed with SigmaStud® in conjunction with MSR Versa-Dek as the floor system. Originally designed as a cast-in-place concrete wall and floor structure, the project could not meet completion scheduling or budget. As the project was re-engineered using conventional SSMA “cee” sections, issues developed on the 1st floor with shear walls and section capacities. Finally, the utilization of SigmaStud®, StiffWall®, and lighter-weight composite decking all led to a reduction in the overall cost of $750,000, and, more importantly, the project was completed ahead of an accelerated construction schedule of 10 months for the 200,000 square foot structure.
