The new gymnasium at North Dallas High School doubles as a storm shelter, thanks to its innovative design solution. Massive 82-inch-deep composite joists span an impressive 116 feet and are topped with a composite cellular acoustic deck. The structure is ICC-500 compliant and engineered to withstand tornado winds of up to 250 miles per hour.
