Completed in October 2014, the certified CALgreen, 22-story, mixed-use tower in downtown Los Angeles has a structural system of reinforced concrete with post-tensioned decks, an all-glass facade and spectacular urban views.
“Buildings with floor-to-ceiling glass require all the usual in-wall mechanical, electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems, all of which have to be hidden somewhere, so we made building information modeling accessible—and mandatory—for the key trades to use for designing and mutually de-conflicting their within-wall wiring, pipes and ductwork,” says Dan Condreay, senior project manager for MATT Construction.
