Architect:  NBBJ Columbus


     Grange Insurance had a major expansion plan in mind, which included the remodeling and expansion of their current headquarters, as well as expansion of its downtown Columbus Campus. The expansion would feature the addition of 240,000 square feet to the existing structure, plus a 1,000 - space parking garage.  Wheaton & Sprague Engineering (WS) worked in partnership with Huron Valley Glass and Gilbane Companies for collaborative design development and engineering, generating a custom unitized curtainwall  system. which included sunshades.  
     WS worked from start to finish providing system design, proposal drawings, mock up drawings and engineering, project shop drawings and engineering, and support for field fix conditions.  Additionally, WS provided engineering and detailing for the strip-window systems for the building.  WS provided collaborative design review and iterations to create a set of proposal drawings to present to the architect, NBBJ out of Columbus, and then detailed profile drawings which served as basis for the final die design, and project details. For Wheaton Sprague, the Grange Insurance represents a project in which the collaboration between Wheaton & Sprague Engineering, the architect, Gilbane Construction as the Construction Manager, and Huron Valley Glass as the Glazing Subcontractor proved excellent for pre-design communication, planning and coordination, resulting in a project delivered on time, within scope, within budget and to the ultimate satisfaction of the client.
