Highlights
- The tower features a concrete core structural system with concrete framing from the core to exterior. Its three-sided base is enclosed by a cable net wall that spans three floors.
- A seven-story, 120-foot tall glass rotunda with architecturally exposed steel, interior balconies and a glass roof serves as the entrance and provides space for special events.
- Among the project challenges was a water table 10 feet above basement level, which was addressed with a 12-foot mat under the tower core, secant piles, piers in sandstone and a specially designed ballast slab.
