Sterling supplied CLT roof panels for a multipurpose event venue in Beaufort, NC overlooking the waterways of the state’s Inner Banks region. The roof deck covers both a two-story educational and conference area, and a one-story visitor’s center and ticketing office. The Maritime Education Center’s structural system utilizes a combination of mass timber and reinforced concrete masonry that both celebrates the area’s historical and natural heritage, and addresses the climatic challenges of its waterfront location.
