Features

TLC designed the building to withstand hurricane force winds. Energy and water efficiency goals were met by expanding two new 225-ton chillers. An accessible open overhead cable tray was designed for audio/visual data transmission, telephone wiring and conduit. We designed electronic systems that include broadband cable distribution. The use of BIM allowed the design team to coordinate above-ceiling systems, minimizing delays during construction.
