A LEED Gold mixed-use project incorporating eight floors of Class A office space and two floors of church worship space in the Penn Quarter and Gallery Place neighborhoods of Washington, D.C.
The Project
A new mixed-use project with 188,000 SF of Class A office space, a church worship space for 300 congregants on the first and second floors, and four levels of below-grade parking. This LEED Gold certified project is next to the Martin Luther King Jr. Public Library in the Penn Quarter and Gallery Place neighborhoods of Washington, DC.
Structural Features
The building features a glass-clad upper mass (floors 5 through 10) above the two-story brick-clad base. The smaller footprint of the third and fourth floors accentuate the illusion that the upper floors are floating above the base. The building is concrete-framed, using a two-way, post-tensioned, wide-shallow beam system in the above-grade levels and a two-way flat slab system in the below-grade levels. Due to the requirements of a column-free sanctuary at the church, full-story deep, post-tensioned concrete transfer girders were designed to span over it. Lateral loads were resisted by a combination of concrete shear walls and slab-column frame action.
