OCVIBE Concert Hall

Complex steel detailing for a uniquely shaped entertainment venue.

Project overview

Cambered roof framing modeled in its required geometry.

The OCVIBE Concert Hall is a new performance venue within the 100-acre OCVIBE development surrounding Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

Working for Junior Steel, Anatomic provided structural steel detailing using Tekla Structures. The building’s distinctive geometry required careful coordination of cambered roof framing, numerous project-specific connections and interfaces with the façade.

The team delivered fabrication drawings on time despite a demanding schedule.

Technical complexity

Unique connections across a highly articulated structure.

01

Cambered roof framing

The main roof truss was modeled with its specified camber. Adjacent roof members had to match the resulting geometry, requiring extensions and additional material allowances at selected connections.

02

Non-repetitive connection conditions

The building’s irregular shape created numerous project-specific connections that required individual attention rather than standard repetitive detailing.

03

Structural steel and façade coordination

Steel framing and connection locations had to be coordinated with façade suppliers to maintain alignment between the structure and the building envelope.

04

Tight fabrication schedule

Despite complex geometry and extensive coordination requirements, the team delivered the required drawings on time. The client recognized Anatomic’s efforts and commitment to the schedule.
