EEA Update: Cornerstone Structural Engineering Group, Inc. - History of Tulare County Farm Labor and Agriculture Museum - Wins 2011 Engineering Excellence Small Firm Merit Award


Cornerstone Structural Engineering Group received a Small Firm Merit Award for the History of Tulare County Farm Labor and Agriculture Museum located in Visalia , CA. Cornerstone was contracted by Kleinfelder West to provide structural engineering services for this $2.66 million-dollar project funded by a California Council and Historical Endowment grant committed to strengthening California’s historic and cultural preservation program in a time of diminishing historical and cultural awareness. The museum was modeled after pre-engineered farming sheds that are commonly seen throughout the Central Valley. The “barn” design represents Tulare County’s farming history and conveys a sense of historical significance. Opened to the public in October of 2009, this symbolic structure received awarm welcome by the Tulare County community.
