RedBuilt has played a crucial role in the construction of Yale Divinity School's latest project, providing custom-designed open web trusses to support its unique and expansive spaces. The project, part of Yale’s first Living Village initiative, was designed by Bruner/Cott Architects and partners like Howeler + Yoon and TyLin. These trusses were employed to address the complex roofline, including sloped RedLam ridge beams, blending historical and modern design elements seamlessly.
“We are proud to support Yale with our open web trusses that meet both architectural elegance and rigorous performance standards,” said Tim Debelius, Director of Marketing at RedBuilt. “Our commitment to precision engineering ensures the highest levels of quality and reliability.”
RedBuilt’s open web trusses are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio and adaptability, ideal for both large-span and light commercial projects. These trusses also facilitate the installation of plumbing, electrical, and ductwork, helping optimize construction efficiency.
In keeping with Yale’s sustainability goals, RedBuilt’s products comply with Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and Health Product Declarations (HPD), while also partnering with the Sustainable Forestry Initiative to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
The collaboration with Yale’s design and engineering teams showcases RedBuilt’s expertise in delivering tailored structural solutions that align with challenging design criteria and exceed expectations for durability and safety.
