SKYSCRAPER<br />
USES NOVEL STRUCTURAL SYSTEM<br />
TO SUSPEND OVER NEIGHBORING BUILDING<br />
In planning Salt Lake City’s newest tower, 111 Main, architect Skidmore, Owings &<br />
Merrill had to solve a natty problem: how to suspend a portion of the building over<br />
an adjacent structure. The 387-foot-tall building shares a contiguous parcel with the<br />
new George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater, which overlaps on the lower four<br />
stories and basement level of the tower. SOM designed the penthouse roof level with<br />
a balanced two-way steel hat truss system that supports the tower’s 18 perimeter<br />
columns. The central reinforced concrete core walls provide the only connection of the<br />
tower to its foundation and resist all gravity loads, as well as wind and seismic vertical<br />
and lateral loads. Also on the <strong>Building</strong> Team: City Creek Reserve (developer) and<br />
Oakland <strong>Construction</strong> (GC).<br />

CENTER AND ARENA ACCOMMODATES BOOM<br />
IN ENROLLMENT AT CALIFORNIA BAPTIST UNIVERSITY<br />
Enrollment at California Baptist University in Riverside has more than doubled in the<br />
past six years, to 8,540 students. The school needs more space, so it’s building<br />
a new events center and arena. The 153,000-sf venue will have 5,050 seats, with<br />
room to expand to 6,000+. The two-level multiuse facility will be the school’s largest<br />
indoor gathering space, and will host athletic events, orientations, commencement<br />
ceremonies, and chapel programs. The plan also includes locker rooms, athletics<br />
suites, and offi ces. SVA Architects and HOK designed the facility in the Mission Revival<br />
style that is prevalent on campus. The $73 million project is expected to be completed<br />
by April 2017. Sundt <strong>Construction</strong> is the GC.<br />
