  • By using concrete flat plate construction, Severud Associates enabled two additional floors within the allowable building height while still meeting vibration criteria for NMR and other sensitive medical equipment. The faceted double wall that is the south façade of this 18-story facility allows for better heating and light; brackets cantilever from the inner wall to support the outer wall.
