November Luncheon Meeting
Topic: Columbus Commons
Joint meeting with SEAoO
(Online registration and payment available, see bottom of page.)
Columbus Commons is a six story 325,000 SF mixed use development project adjacent to the public green space in downtown Columbus. The building consists of a Podium of Type IA construction with retail and townhomes at the ground floor level and a residential tower of Type IIIB construction above. The sixty-two foot tall building is framed predominantly with wood and is clad with brick veneer. The project also includes a connector tunnel to the existing parking garage that is located two levels or thirty feet below grade. The discussion will include an overview of the challenges on the project with specific consideration to fire rating, brick relief, wood shear walls, and wood shrinkage. In addition learn how the owner avoided potential pitfalls and developed a plan to provide a cost effective foundation system that helped mitigate risk for cost overruns associated with the foundations.
