Chief Manuelito Middle School
APS Tony Hillerman Middle School | BlueCross BlueShield | BSA Hospital | Chief Manuelito Middle School | DETR | Jefferson Green
The two-story Chief Manuelito Middle School project consists of a foundation composed of auger-cast piers and grade beams. The lateral system is primarily exterior ordinary, reinforced masonry shear walls in every part of building excluding the gymnasium, where concentric steel braced frames were utilized. Our design objective was to utilize single-wythe eight inch masonry block which drove the need for a steel lateral system in the gymnasium since the height was above thirty feet. Several of the more challenging structural elements on the Chief Manuelito project were a cantilevered monoslope roof at the gymnasium, twenty foot high CMU wainscot wall surrounding the gymnasium and diagonal/multi-directional framing at the canopies.
