This seminar will focus on the World Trade Centre (WTC) site and general redevelopment on the site. Marc will discuss Tower 1 (otherwise known as the Freedom Tower) in more detail.
Freedom Tower,
World Trade Center, New York. With a height of 1,776 ft the Freedom Tower will comprise 2.6 million-square feet of office space, tenant amenity spaces, an observation deck, world-class restaurants, and broadcast and antennae facilities for the MTVA. The design also provides for below-grade shopping and access to the PATH and subway trains, as well as the World Financial Center. The Freedom Tower will be unprecedented in terms of life safety and security. The structure consists of a robust high-strength concrete core paired with a highly redundant perimeter steel moment frame which, together, provide column-free interior spans for maximum flexibility of tenant use.
