CG Engineering provided structural engineering services for this project consisting of an approximately 17,000 square foot, 4-story wood framed addition to an existing hotel, some remodeling within the hotel & design of a new porte cochere.

The wing of a Boeing 727 airplane was used as a porte cochere at the Cambridge Inn. The wing was mounted to two steel columns with four braces at each column going in each direction. In order to keep the wing from "taking off" the steel pipe columns were placed in 2 feet diameter concrete footings which were 9-12 feet deep. A part of the fuselage of a Fokker F-28 was used between the building and the airplane wing with the fuselage windows utilized as skylights. A steel frame was designed to go up into the fuselage and support it from excessive deflection and keep it in place.
