Project Description:
This addition to existing buildings on the Franklin Templeton campus consists of a 305,000 square foot elevated podium that providing parking for an 8-story, 300,000 square foot concrete office structure.
The podium level is divided into 3-areas which are approximately 100,000 square feet in size. Each 100,000 square foot area was separated into pour areas ranging from approximately 10,000-25,000 square feet each. The center podium area supports the 8-story office tower and is also covered in a secondary concrete top slab varying in thickness from 3” to 24” to accommodate landscaping features. The perimeter of the podium is surrounded with stainless-steel barrier cable railing, while the office structure is clad in pre-cast panels and aluminum and glass curtain walls.
The 8-story office structure consists of an 8” thick post-tensioned concrete slab and cap construction supported on round columns and central elevator core. The 40,000 square foot floor plates were separated into three pour areas.
The project’s vertical elements consisted of nearly 1000 columns and an elevator core consisting of 12” concrete walls. There are approximately 5,000 embedded items primarily required to attach the pre-cast panels and curtain walls, but also were required for stairs, elevators, structural steel, and other miscellaneous connections.
