Merit award: wood-framed building finds niche in Madison

Article Abstract:

6410 Enterprise Lane won a Sterling merit award for 1992. The 38,932 sq ft wood-framed building's focal point is its recessed corner with its red column facing the Beltline in west-end Madison, WI. Architect and project manager Timothy Kritter cites financial factors as the deciding element in opting for a wood framed structure although some portions of the building made use of steel beam and column-support systems. The building contains an underground garage and a leasable space of 24,207 sq ft.
