Wells Fargo Flagship Offices
TYLin provided structural engineering services for the fit-out of nine floors within a new high-rise commercial building at 30 Hudson Yards.
The office space includes two new trading floors, administrative offices, café space, and a reception area. The centerpiece of the main reception area is a feature floating stair. In addition to designing the stair and stair opening, TYLin analyzed the existing steel structure for capacity to support a new two-story digital display wall that occupants can view as they descend the floating stairs.
TYLin reviewed the existing 10th floor dunnage and designed additional dunnage for a new load bank, cooling tower, and pumping skid to be supported on existing concrete piers at the 10th floor roof setback. Further work required separation of the existing dunnage platform into two isolated platforms so that the isolation springs could be designed specifically for the new, smaller cooling tower.
The firm also reviewed and analyzed the new data center loads on the existing floor framing and coordinated the relocation of data center units with the architect and MEP engineer.
