SDS2 customer Michael Olsen, detailing manager at KL&A, is no stranger to award-winning cultural architecture projects. His resume includes the Meow Wolf art museum in Denver, the US Olympic and Paralympic Museum, and now, the Joslyn Art Museum renovation and expansion in Omaha, NE, which won the Grand Prize for Commercial, Large Tonnage in the 2022 SDS2 Solid Steel Awards. The 90-year-old art museum closed its doors in 2022 to undergo a major renovation and 42,000-square-foot expansion.
Join Olsen and SDS2’s Josh Hawley as they discuss the project’s many detailing and design challenges, including a rolled grand stairway, a 40-foot cantilevered entry, a curving roof that transitions the old building to the new, steel-framed skylights, and more. Learn how Olsen and the KL&A team utilized SDS2 to:
- Detail the grand rolled staircase and other challenging features
- Handle reference models for concrete, roof, geometry, temporary shoring, and window walls
- Collaborate with the architect to design the building's skylights
- Visualize and plan erection sequences with the GC and erector
