Elevator Layout

 4 layouts reviewed  Option B-a: PWG Selection

Two options required the realignment of 7th Street - delays design schedule and adds additional costs.

One option required grade break on pedestrian bridge - adds cost and complexity to the design.

North-south facing options included a barrier at street access - blocked area for 7th Street crosswalk to former wing street.

North-south facing options have upper elevator waiting area and access to stairs in same path – congested circulation.

Modified Tower Aesthetics

 Reduced stair tread widths  Reduced mid landing length  Revised elevator tower roof  Revised elevator tower glass  Reviewed opening area under stairs  Continue to review options of materials and the

treatment of concrete on landings

East Elevation South Elevation

Area Under Stairs

 Concerns with blocked views  Restrooms (existing structure is about 12 feet by 24 feet)  Elevator tower design requires:

  • Mechanical room (Minimum 8 feet by 10 feet)
  • Room for backup generator (Minimum11 feet by 12 feet)

North Side Underpass

  • Located at base of ceiling
  • Located at eye level
  • Provides better vertical illumination

(light on people’s faces)

 Underpass lighting

  • Lifetime vandal-proof guarantee
  • LED white light high color rendering
  • Low energy, highly efficient, long life
  • Bi-level or dimmable operation
  • Base cost with low maintenance
