Structure:
Lexington II is a concrete structure consisting primarily of cast in place concrete elements. The foundation of Lexington II is a 3’-6” MAT foundation resting on top of a 3 inch MAT working slab. The compressive strength of the MAT foundation is 5000 psi. The MAT foundation is resting on undisturbed soil. Along the south wall, where Lexington II abuts a previously built building, HP 14 x 89 reaction piles have been placed 5 feet o.c..

Lexington has a framing plan of concrete beams and columns. The slabs in the substructure are 10” with drop panels 5” deep around two columns in the south of the building. The superstructure has 8” slabs. All concrete has a compressive strength of 4000 psi. A shear wall encompassing the elevators’ shafts spans the entire height of the building.

Transportation:
The vertical transportation system of Lexington is located in a central core of the building. Two passenger elevators operate in the building and both travel the entire height of the building covering its 12 stories and three below grade levels. Two stair wells also run vertically through the building, both travel from the roof level to the underground concourse, one stair way continues to the lowest parking level.
