A 210,000 square foot expansion to a corporate headquarters. The
new addition was a long, linear building, similar in appearance to the
existing building, with a glass enclosed connecting link. The new building
houses additional corporate offices and support staff spaces. The
structure was framed with structural steel with moment frames and shearwalls. Design features included a large atrium space, a unique system
to support the pre-cast concrete and curtainwall cladding, and a complex
system of in-floor data/telephone communication lines. |
