Seattle Asian Art Museum

Featured, Preservation, Seismic EngineeringPSM recently completed a seismic upgrade for this important Seattle cultural institution. We remediated most major seismic deficiencies identified over the years.
The museum was originally designed with skylights over the galleries. This design resulted in large ceiling openings, which resulted in a weak structural diaphragm. PSM designed a steel horizontal bracing system, which was carefully integrated in the existing steel roof truss framing.
