Architect: Workshop DA
This was a conversion of four existing commercial buildings (4 story, total 40,000sf) into one mixed use space - gymnasium and commercial. The structural system includes steel framing, composite floors (metal deck and concrete), and on the first floor - existing wood joists, metal deck and concrete slab. The foundation is reinforced concrete footings. Upper floors and masonry party walls were removed, and new floors were designed. The exterior existing masonry walls were kept and connected to the new steel structure, while the first floor wood framing was preserved. A new lateral system was designed for the building.
