NYA provided structural engineering services for the new 20,000 square foot Our Savior Church and USC Caruso Catholic Center, completed in 2013. The center was designed by Perkowitz and Ruth Architects (Architect of Record) and Elkus Manfredi Architects (Design Architect) and replaces the existing Catholic Center and Parish, which serves the entire USC Community.

The church building consists of load-bearing CMU shearwalls around the perimeter of the structure and at the tower. The roof framing consists of four exposed wood trusses spanning across the congregation area and utilizies glulam beams, steel tension rods, clevis/turnbuckle connections and custom steel assemblies at all connection points.
