Stahl Sheaffer provided structural engineering services for the design and renovation of the Covenant Woods Health Care Center. The project included two new building additions with slab-on-grade basement, with framed first and second floor added to the north end of wing C. A new slab on grade building addition with framed second floor was designed to replace an existing one-story section of building on the south end of Wing A. Each section is a steel frame supporting the floors and light-gauge steel roof trusses. Exterior walls are light-framed steel construction supporting siding or masonry veneer.
