In this episode, Julian Lineham, PE, Founding Principal at Studio NYL, talks about the Bonnett Springs Park project.  This site was previously inaccessible due to an abandoned rail line.  So by removing the abandoned line, many acres of land were suddenly opened up and accessible.  This project includes the design and construction of several buildings throughout the site but our talk focuses on four main buildings: the Event Center, Welcome Center, Children’s Museum and Nature Center.   Materials included mass timber and CLT (cross laminated timber) and concrete and steel.  

Listen in to hear how soil challenges were addressed and to also hear how sustainability aspects were worked into the design of these structures.
