Severud Associates engineered this total rehab, which included replacing or reinforcing existing floor framing, creating a multi-level atrium, and designing a monumental stair. In an unusual operation, a new column and footing were added in order to remove an existing transfer truss that impeded store operations. Sequencing of jacking and erection was a critical part of the work.
