Gloria Center in the Dalles, Oregon
At Web Steel Buildings NW, steel is just the beginning. Every structure we help deliver is built around purpose, people, and a clear understanding of what our customers—and their communities—need to succeed. That’s why we were honored to be part of the team behind the Gloria Center, a new community resource facility located in The Dalles, Oregon.
The Gloria Center is more than a standard shell—it’s a technically complex, highly customized project building designed to bring multiple community services under one roof. Built in partnership with Bremik Construction and guided by the architectural vision of the client and Access Architecture, the facility supports a range of agencies offering housing assistance, behavioral and physical health care, veterans services, employment support, and emergency shelter.
From the steel side, the structure required extensive coordination between the Web Steel Buildings NW design team, the project architect, and the general contractor to ensure that every structural and engineering component of the pre-engineered metal building met the final functional and aesthetic expectations of the end-user.
Though it may look like multiple structures from the outside, the Gloria Center is a single, unified building, engineered through our project-building process. Its design incorporates multiple joined sections, advanced insulation systems (Simple Saver for both roof and walls), and rooftop solar panel readiness—resulting in a facility that is both flexible and highly energy-efficient.
