Three stories of rock were excavated to place mechanical rooms and parking below this 15-story ambulatory care facility. Due to the building’s slender cross-section, columns in the lateral force resisting system are anchored to bedrock. Severud Associates designed deep slabs and beams to keep floor vibrations minimal, critical to the operation of MRI equipment.
