Overview

MBJ provided full structural engineering services for Wells Fargo’s data center. The 144,000 square foot building is a mostly one-story, cast-in-place concrete structure with a moment or rigid frame, with one-fifth of the footprint reaching two stories and similarly framed. The floor and roof decks are framed with wide module post-tensioned joists, which span 40 feet between the post-tensioned beams. The entire structure is designed to withstand wind speeds of 155 miles per hour, speeds that are associated with an F-3 tornado.
