Description:
Metro Center is a seven story, class A office building, adjacent both to
Stamford's transportation center and to Interstate-95. Metro Center provides
275,000 square feet of office and retail space, along with a 700-car parking
garage on a three acre site. Metro Center is of classic design with strong
base, columns and pilasters. A central, 90 foot high, domed foyer with skylight
atrium is the building’s focal point. The facade is constructed of granite, cast
stone and masonry.
The Di Salvo Ericson Group designed all structural components including
foundations, columns, post-tensioned floor and roof slabs, and the atrium
"centerpiece". The flat plate lift-slab structural system enabled the developer
to get an extra 43,000 SF of rentable floor within Stamford’s height
restrictions, without sacrificing the highly marketable features of nine foot
ceilings. The parking garage was designed in post tensioned concrete (beam
and slab).
Building Design & Construction Magazine along with the National
Commercial Builders Council selected Metro Center as the Best Commercial
Project over 50,000 square feet.
