The building structure is a steel frame utilizing composite steel beam construction. The foundation system consists of a combination of shallow spread footings and drilled piers bearing on bedrock and supporting a system of spanning grade beams and reinforced concrete retaining walls. The lateral force resisting system utilizes a combination of concentrically braced frames and masonry shear walls.
