Working with Princeton International Properties, EP Engineering provided sprinkler design services for approximately 165,000 square feet of new and existing office space across 17 floors in the building. Many of the spaces were previously without sprinkler coverage and has brought the building closer to meeting the Local Law 26 of 2004 deadline for full sprinkler coverage by July of 2019.

Engineering challenges
- Design sprinkler systems for existing tenants whose leases run through 2019.
- Maximizing ceiling heights due to existing structural conditions.
Engineering outcomes
- Expedited issuance of plans and shop drawings to help keep each project on schedule.
- Careful coordination with the building architect maximized ceiling heights and minimized impact on architectural design in existing tenant spaces.
