Constructed on the roof of a five-story condominium building,
this tenant self-storage facility utilizes a Varco Pruden Buildings
Continuous Beam framing system. The building has a 15-foot-wide
canopy to provide protection from the building to the elevator
area. The wall sheeting is 2-inch metal insulated panels, while all
of the downspouts are trimmed to the inside of the building. Varco
Pruden also supplied its SSR roof coated with Galvalume for the
project.
Located in a planned re-development area in the Channelside
District of the Port of Tampa, the building has great exposure to
the Leeroy Selmon Expressway. The storage facility is for the
property owner's personal storage with individual storage spaces
available for each condo owner. The elevator for the building
continues to the rooftop level. The building's concrete roof was
designed for the storage facility with Varco Pruden reactions
incorporated into the overall design.
