PCS Design Center is a two story office building. The building houses
computer equipment and offices dedicated to the design of telephone system
components. The main construction material is composite metal deck slabs
on composite structural steel beams and girders. The lateral force resisting
system utilizes a series of moment frames predicated by an open-floor
layout and strip windows along the exterior elevations. The building is
clad with metal studs and a masonry veneer. Unique design elements
include two large clerestories for natural light, a complex, cantilevered
mansard roof framing system and three story exterior "fin" walls. |
