The construction site of our apartment building is located on the corner of Crawford Street and Centre Avenue in the Lower Hill District in Pittsburgh, PA. The proposed 28- acre plan redevelops the public space around the former Civic Arena including a public space across from CONSOL Energy Center while connecting the property to downtown, uptown and the rest of the Hill District. The designed apartment building will contain 30 luxury style residential units.

Design Aspects Beams: Designed to support the weight of the slabs. The majority of the beams have uniform cross sections and reinforcement for constructability purposes. Six of the designed beams have unique designs to accommodate large moments due to extended slab sections.

Columns: Designed to resist its own self weight and loads from floors above. The columns will experience an axial force and a relatively small moment from this loading. The columns are uniform in size on each floor and increase in size from the roof to the ground floor.
