Best Project Office/Retail/Mixed Use: 95 S. State

Abstract

Considered a slender building due to its width-to-length ratio, the long axis of the building runs parallel to the Wasatch fault. The structural design of the building compensated for both issues by designing a high percentage of the 363 auger cast-in-place piles as tension piles. The footing elements include large outrigger grade beams perpendicularly oriented to the building's long axis. Each face of the building forms a radius, contributing to the building's flowing appearance and feel.

A 7,000-sq-ft outdoor garden terrace serves as the building's pocket park and doubles as an event venue for up to 125 people. The project is expected to be one of the state's first WELL Gold certified buildings and is also designed and built to achieve LEED Gold.
