The originally planned WF columns are being changed to HSS columns. The number of new steel columns is being reduced from 6 per address to 4 per address. The footings have increased in depth, depth below grade, and are continuous rather than isolated. New timber framing members and associated connections have been added to distribute the loads. The connections of the columns closest to the main driving area of the parking lot have been revised to reduce material costs.
