A 17-story residence hall showcasing a cantilevered banquet room
This 17-story residence hall houses 806 upper year students, provides a campus dining hall, and showcases a 17th-floor banquet room with multipurpose space and roof terrace for events. The primary structural system consists of reinforced concrete columns and shafts supporting post-tensioned concrete floors.
An extremely specialized cantilevered structural steel system was designed to construct the 17th floor mass, which is rotated on the building's axis, creating multiple cantilevered slab conditions.
