SGH helped design the building enclosure systems, including low-slope and vegetative roofs, curtain wall and window systems, and panels of glass fiber-reinforced concrete and thinner composite architectural precast concrete.

We collaborated with the eleven-party IPD project team and highlights of our work included the following:

• Participated in the parallel design process with the architect, contractor, manufacturers, installers, and other providers, coordinating important aspects of the building enclosure
• Used three-dimensional BIM trade models and a fully-integrated project model to coordinate aspects of the design
• Detailed tapered insulation to fit within specified roofing heights and penetration layout using the BIM model
• Communicated issues and changes directly into the models using an interactive whiteboard
• Recommended anchorage details to allow independent movement of components in the event of normal structural movement and design events
• Calculated deflections due to wind loads on floor-to-ceiling curtain walls to resolve interaction with interior finishes
• Provided construction administration services
