KLINE served as the Structural Engineer of Record (EOR), providing complete structural design services for the Visitor Center. The project required integrating ICF wall systems with steel roof framing, including lateral force analysis, reinforcement design, connection detailing, and structural coordination between the concrete and steel systems. KLINE developed innovative reinforcement and detailing solutions to allow the ICF walls to serve both as vertical load-bearing elements and as structural transfer members where required, ensuring stability, resilience, and constructability throughout the facility.
