Built in 1968, the building had no significant renovations and was at the end of its useful lifespan.
1400 Crystal Drive provided a great opportunity to recycle and reposition an existing Class B structure into a state-of-the-art, Class A office building. The property is designed to attain LEED Gold certification. Rathgeber/Goss Associates worked diligently with the design team and contractor on a fast track, design build approach. The building was perfect for conversion to a data center, as only three windows near the building entrance, 11 exit doors, and 6 overhead doors penetrated the 1100 linear foot perimeter.
The initial challenge to this project was determining how to safely construct an ice rink and roof weighing a total of 235 psf dead load plus 130 psf live load over an existing parking garage which was designed for a total expansion of 60 psf dead load and 50 psf live load.
