Our scope included structural design support for the following: enclosing main and rear entrances; upgrading the mechanical system to address the expanded conditioned space; removing the existing escalators and installing new escalators; removing existing stairs; new infill floor areas at the existing escalators and stairs; new floor area at the mezzanine level at the west side of the atrium to house media functions; installing a new glass elevator and water feature in the atrium space; new signs and curtain wall features on the east façade; and new stairs and a roof at main entrance. A vertical addition was also constructed west of the area creating a semi-private lobby area.
