Scope Of Work
NYC’s first LEED Certified office tower. Designed by Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill, 7 WTC is the first certified "green" office building to be constructed in New York City. Among many building enhancements, 7 WTC has a reinforced concrete core and a steel superstructure. Safety systems exceed the city's building code and Port Authority requirements, and are expected to form the basis for future high-rise building codes.
God Bless those that perished on September 11th, 2001, as well as all of the rescue and recovery workers, including the many construction workers that assisted with the rescue and relief efforts.
