Structure
The tower at Ballpark Village consists of an entirely concrete structural system. The design satisfies level 2 and 3 occupancy categories and Seismic Design Category D. The structure rises more than 400 feet utilizing specially designed reinforced shear walls, high strength reinforced concrete moment frames and post tension reinforced concrete floor slabs.
Building Enclosure
Façade: The façade of Ballpark Village is constructed of a window wall glazing system with two types of window. Type 1 Storefront: 6” x 2 1/2” captured offset glazed system for 1 inch glass. (Screw spline / shear block system). And Type 2 Storefront: 10” x 2 ½” captured offset glazed system for 1 inch glass. (Screw spline / shear block system). Highly insulant sealants with low VOC contents are utilized to minimize the wall system’s U-value while remaining environmentally friendly. Window Wall modules are built in place and connected to anchors embedded in the corresponding floor slabs in addition to one another.
Roofing System: The roofing system is comprised of a polyvinylChloride Roofing membrane. The membrane is unrolled into adhesive applied to the structural slab, metal decking or insulation. The seams are heat welded together. The roofing system is high in both constructability, and cost efficiency.
Sustainability
The construction team of Ballpark Village tower is seeking Leed Silver certification upon completion in 2018. To obtain a Silver rating from the United States Green Building Council the tower will need to obtain a minimum of 50 points. Sustainable and locally sourced materials are utilized for construction including more than 12,000 cubic yards of concrete for the structure and an exterior enclosure system with a window wall system constructed to passively reduce energy usage. Mechanical and plumbing systems are designed to deliver HVAC and clean water supply to more than 400 units as efficiently as possible.
