KL&A developed an efficient structural system to support project density and schedule goals. The design balances material efficiency with code requirements, utilizing streamlined gravity and lateral systems that align with the architectural grid and unit planning.
Early coordination with the design team focused on constructability, repetition, and clear load paths. This approach minimized field conflicts and supported a predictable construction process from design through delivery.
