This project provided a new 16,326 sf switch equipment
building and a new 2,500 sf cell staging facility for a
national cellular communications company on a major downtown
thoroughfare.
The one-story building’s construction was comprised of
slab on grade foundation, with CMU block exterior walls and
a steel reinforced concrete/metal roof. The roof was sloped
for design interest as well as ease of maintenance. No roof
penetrations were allowed above equipment spaces, and only
minimal penetrations were designed above the remaining
areas. An innovative front portico leant a more human scale
to the size of the building at its front entry.
KDW’s design was developed with future expansion in
mind--the building can be easily added on towards the north
end as equipment needs increase.
