1030 Music Row 

Project Description

A classy, five-story mass timber office building has come to Nashville’s Music Row. The project is Panattoni’s third office building on Music Row. It is designed specifically to target the creative office market in our post-COVID environment, with easily accessible floors and modern HVAC and access systems. 
 
The superstructure uses shop prefabricated spruce DLT panels on Glulam columns and beams, with a central structural steel core as the lateral load resisting system. The first level is partial office (timber) as well as a parkade (steel) with 4 underground parking levels. The building’s glass skin shows off the warm timber interiors. 

Our team manufactured the DLT for Music Row using wide 3x European Spruce laminations to create a high-quality visual surface. Because the DLT panels are 3x instead of 2x, the whole lifting scheme had to be re-evaluated. Extensive testing was done to come to an optimal solution, including friction testing the dowels by pulling them directly out of a 3x lamination. Following these and other tests, the engineers were confident with how these panels would be erected.
