Menlo School Spieker PAC

QEC successfully completed the structural steel work for the Menlo Spieker Performing Arts Center, a state-of-the-art facility designed to enhance the performing arts experience at Menlo School in Atherton, CA. This project required extensive site coordination and collaboration with our fabrication partner, GEM Buildings, to ensure precision, efficiency, and adherence to high-quality standards.

Project Scope & Execution:

• Structural Steel Fabrication & Erection: The steel framework was fabricated by GEM Buildings and meticulously erected on-site to meet the project’s architectural and engineering requirements.

• Site Coordination: Due to the complexity of the design and site space constraints(Only one feasible crane spot with a pit and an active school grounds), our team worked closely with Devcon Construction and Summit Crane to streamline logistics, scheduling, and on-site adjustments.

• Project Challenges & Solutions:

  • Tight construction schedule and site access required detailed planning and efficient execution.

  • Site constraints and existing infrastructure necessitated precise material deliveries and strategic staging to minimize disruption to other trades and the schools ongoing operations.

  • Complex design elements were met with innovative fabrication techniques and expert craftsmanship.

Project Impact: The completion of the Menlo Spieker Performing Arts Center provides Menlo School with a premier venue for performances, events, and creative expression. Our expertise in steel construction contributed to a structurally sound and aesthetically refined facility that will serve the school community for years to come.

This project exemplifies QEC's commitment to delivering top-tier steel construction solutions through expertise, collaboration, and meticulous planning.
