Working closely with the architect, the university, and the construction manager, RJC developed a simple, flexible and cost effective structural system that achieved the budget goals in a time of rapid escalating construction costs.

In collaboration with the vibration consultant, RJC conceived a creative structural support system for the Astronomy department telescope that met the very strict vibration criteria without the originally planned costly and intrusive totally isolated system.
