150 NORTH COLLEGE STREET

This LEED Gold campus incorporates 750,000 sq. ft. of office space in a 32 story high rise and a 275,000 sq. ft., 18 story Ritz-Carlton hotel.

Project Highlights

32 story high-rise office tower with ground floor retail and restaurants.
18 story Ritz-Carlton Hotel, the first LEED Gold hotel in Charlotte.
12.5MW generator plant designed and built on top of a renovated 10 story parking garage can support a multi-block campus including the 60 story Corporate Center.
The main electrical vault resides within the footprint of the building, located on top of a water storage tank in the center of a sub-level parking garage.
A suspended concrete-encased electrical duct bank brings power into the facility.
Grounding and lightning protection were difficult due to the existing soil type. We specified backfill for proper resistivity along with grounding details.
A 2.5MW life safety generator was located under the footprint of the building in the sub-level parking garage. Air intake and exhaust were challenging due to the limited space.
3D coordination was used during design to both design and coordinate electrical systems at the same time.
Eye scanning security system was designed to allow for quick, secured access to the facility.
Plug-n-Play branch power distribution for all office space.
Energy efficient lighting design with state of the art controls and daylight harvesting.
Critical UPS distribution throughout the high rise.
