Downtown Mixed-Use Building

Proposed Structure Assessment

Commercial construction is primarily dictated by the type of material the building is constructed of and the use of that building. According to the RFQ the admin building must absolutely accommodate Residential Occupancies, Business Occupancies, and possibly Assembly(restaurant) and Mercantile (shopping). We must develop the building to the most stringent occupancies which are the Residential and Assembly. No matter what the building must be sprinklered due to the residential portion, so all tables are with the consideration that it be sprinklered.

RFQ Proposed building Height 3 stories or 4 Stories, stories are between 10-15’ per story, for safety we need 40 for 3 stories 50’ for as minimums. Proposed sq footage is 20k per floor.

The following structure types are acceptable:

Type IIIB (noncombustible outside combustible inside)

Allowable Number of Stories Allowable Height above grade Allowable Area

4 55 38k

Type IIB (no wood no fire rating)

Allowable Number of Stories Allowable Height above grade Allowable Area

4 55 28.5k
