Quantum Consulting Engineers provided structural design services for the remodel and addition to the observatory. The 4,000 square foot building is located within the 5-acre hilltop site of the Goldendale Observatory State Park. Housing one of America’s largest public telescopes, this educational space acts as a hub for viewing significant astronomical events, including the solar eclipse of 2017. The elliptical and circular shapes in plan provide for unique spaces inside and out and required creative engineering solutions utilizing concrete, steel and wood.
