The challenge of this project was not just to create a modern, technologically equipped building while maintaining the traditional architecture and historical presence of this downtown Pittsburgh structure. The building team also fulfilled the task fo renovating 168,000 square feet over 10 floors within an eight-month schedule and within the $13 million budget. Because of the fast-tracked schedule, craftsmen had to adapt to evolving design modifications throughout the project.
