The project entailed repair, renovation, modernization, and addition to the existing Key Bank building (built in 1972). The building ‘s structure was reworked to meet current seismic codes, which included new mass concrete foundations and steel BRB lateral bracing. To the southeast new floor plates were added on all floors, adding 40,000sf of floor space and extending out to create a modern prowl design wrapped in SSG glass curtain wall. State of the art programmable LED lights accentuate exterior corners. The existing mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems were completely replaced with new. The main entry plaza included sidewalk skylights connected to a basement space. Faceted core walls, open stairs to a mezzanine, and a Café highlight the main Lobby. In the basement there is a complete exercise room complemented by locker rooms and a bike storage area.
