BALZHISER, A. I. A. ALAN G. SEDER, A.I.A. RICHARD R. RHODES, A. I. A. THE ENCLOSED DETAIL DRAWINGS ARE FROM THE PROPOSED BUILDING FOR THE EVERETT CLINIC, INC. WHICH OUR OFFICE HAS IN PRODUCTION, THIS BUILDING IS TO BE LOCATE❑ ON A PLOT BOUNDED BY HOYT AVENUE, 39TH STREET AND COLBY AVENUE, EXTENDING TO A WIDTH OF 3101 ALONG THE LATTER. IT WILL BE OF STEEL FRAME CONSTRUCTION, CONSISTING OF A BASEMENT AND TWO FLOORS AND DESIGNED FOR BOTH HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL EXPANSION AT A LATER TIME. THE ENCLOSED DRAWINGS SHOW AN ELEVATION OF A TYPICAL DAY WHICH IS DEFINE❑ BY THE ARTICULATION OF THE STRUCTURAL FRAME ON THE EXTERIOR. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE DETAIL SECTIONS, IT IS OUR INTENTION TO FXPOSE THE STEEL MEMBERS ON THE EXTERIOR, EMPLOY- ING THEM AS A GROUND FOR THE STUCCO WALL PANELS. ALTHOUGH THE EXPOSURE OF A STRUCTURAL STEEL FRAME ON THE EXTER- IOR IS NO RADICAL OR UNPRECEDENTE❑ ❑EPARTURE FROM ACCEPTED SUILO- ING PRACTICE, THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE IS SUFFICIENTLY VAGUE WITH RESPECT TO THIS PARTICULAR METHO❑ TO WARRANT REQUESTING PRIOR APPROVAL FROM YOUR OFFICE. WE HAVE ERECTED TWO BUILDINGS IN EUGENE IN WHICH STRUCTURAL STEEL MEMBERS ARE PARTIALLY EXPOSED TO THE EXTERIOR. OUR LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIALS AGREE WITH OUR VIEW THAT THE MEMBERS, BEING ADEQUATELY PROTECTED ON THE INTER- IOR, ARE IN NO DANGER OF EXPERIENCING COMBUSTION TEMPERATURES ON THE OUTSIDE WHICH WOULD BE SUFFICIENTLY HIGH TO CONSTITUTE A HAZAR❑ TO THEIR STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. NOT SHOWN ON THE ENCLOSED DRAWINGS IS A SUN -SCREEN OR LATTICE OF VERTICAL. MEMBERS !BnUT 12" O.C. WHICH IS TO BE PROJECTED FROM THE WALL OF T=iE BUILDING ABOUT A FOOT. THE MATERIAL AND PRECISE DESIGN OF THIS SCREEN ARE NOT YET ❑ETERMINIED. WOOD GLU LAM MEM- BERS APPROXIMATELY 2" X 8B IN SECTION IS ONE ALTERNATIVE. ANOTHER IS COPPER -WRAPPED SECTIONS MILLED FROM 2 X 8 LUMPER. THE
