Standard Framing
The spacing for standard wall framing is this many inches on center.
What is 16 inches.
By reducing thermal bridging, the effective R-value of walls built with advanced framing compared to standard framing increases by this percentage.
What is 10–30% higher?
What material is typicality used for metal framing.
What is steel
This type of highly uniform factory-made lumber and is known for its long spans and resistance to warping.
What is Laminated Venner Lumber
This image shows a current construction of the new nursing and pharmacy building at Purdue University; an example of this type of framing.
What is metal framing.
This image points to what component of standard framing.
What are studs.
This spacing, used in advanced framing instead of 16 inches, reduces material use while maintaining structural performance.
What is 24-inch on-center spacing?
How long is metal framing projected to withstand?
What is 50 years
Designed to carry heavy loads across long distances, these engineered beams are commonly used over garage openings and large window spans
What is Glulam Beams
This image shown is the current construction of the new Hillendbrand South Hall Dorms, located south of the original Hillenbrand Dorms. What is the specific material of framing is used for the Skelton portion of the construction, using clues from the image.

Newer buildings at Purdue are typically constructed with this type of framing.
What is metal framing.
If not properly protected, wood framing could be susceptible to these three issues.
What are fungus, rot, and termites.
Because advanced framing minimizes unnecessary framing members, the percentage of lumber saved compared to standard framing is typically between these two values.
What is 5–15%?

What is a plywood or OSB subfloor is installed using self drilling screws
what veneer lumber is heavier per linear foot that may require 2 or more people to carry.
Most early Purdue University buildings were constructed using this commercial structural system, rather than wood framing, to maximize durability and fire resistance.
