The document describes the design of a shading structure for Morley Field Velodrome in San Diego. It will be a long span steel truss structure with an improved beam section to provide shade over the seating area while allowing views of the velodrome. The structure will be supported by a shallow foundation system due to poor soil quality and will tie into surrounding buildings.
