The City of Greenwood, Davis & Floyd, Furman Architects, and other local firms worked together to bring the Greenwood Master Plan (a culmination of plans for structures, buildings, and streetscapes) to life. This master plan honors Greenwood’s past while forging a new vision for its future.
A pivotal part of this vision was development of Uptown Market. Designed by Davis & Floyd and Furman Architects, the market resembled the train stations that had populated Uptown over 100 years before.
This open-air building included load-bearing masonry shear walls, curved glulam heavy timber trusses, tongue and groove glulam roof decking, steel framing, 24’ masonry arch openings, 20’ masonry rectangular openings, and plate connected wood roof truss design criteria. Our structural engineering team designed a concealed masonry support system and steel framing, creating the illusion that the rectangular masonry opening was self-supporting with no exposed elements.
Uptown Market serves as a multipurpose recreational and commercial hub with a splash pad and community garden.
This project received an American Council of Engineering Companies of South Carolina Engineering Excellence Award.
