The Boro

SGH consulted on the design of the building enclosure, including below- and above-grade waterproofing for the podium, window walls, architectural precast concrete wall panels, brick masonry cladding, waterproofing at the amenity deck, and roofing. Highlights of our work include the following:

• Reviewed the proposed design, recommended ways to improve performance, and developed details to integrate the enclosure systems
• Performed studies to help the project team with their selection of cladding materials
• Helped the project team understand key considerations related to mitigating staining and discoloration of architectural precast concrete wall panels
• Collaborated with the design team to evaluate fenestration systems and their effect on the overall enclosure design
• Coordinated building drift under lateral loads with the enclosure design
• Participated in a large-scale mockup program to evaluate the performance of the window walls, as well as the detailing and constructability of the facade
• Performed construction-phase services, including reviewing submittals, visiting the site to observe ongoing work, and helping the construction team address field conditions
