A WEDGE SHAPED
20,000 SQ. FT. BUILDING
FEATURING A CLT
STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
SKYLAB
B76 was designed as a working-class building aimed at public
transportation connectivity, pedestrian openness, and bicycle
priority access. It is positioned centrally in the new eastside
community envisioned by the Burnside Bridgehead Framework
plan. The ground floor will be activated by storefronts along third
avenue and a work space above. This new building program will also
reintegrate a pedestrian stair down from the Burnside Bridge level
to third avenue akin to the original stairs that previously existed.
This wedge-shaped 20,000 sq ft building will feature a new CLT
structural system with open ground level commuter oriented retail
environments for daily guests and tenants. The workspace above
will be wrapped in brick masonry with the building acting as an
anchor for the Burnside Bridge and a gateway to the eastside
community.
