The facility features 282 rooms and includes a rooftop terrace on the seventh floor and a steel-framed community center on the ground floor that ties the two separate wings of the building together.
The project also includes a separate one-story Central Plant Building, constructed of CMU bearing walls and a steel-framed roof.
