 Situated
on approximately 200 acres in Overland Park, Kansas, the Sprint
World Headquarters Campus will create a state-of-the art workplace
for over 14,000 employees. A total of 22 buildings will be constructed
in five phases-18 office buildings and 4 other buildings, for a
total of 3.9 million square feet. The project began in July 1997
and is scheduled for completion in late 2001.In addition to traditional
office space, a Customer Technology Center, several retail spaces,
food facilities, a fitness center, and a childcare center will add
to the amenities of the complex.
Design Concept
The complex will be built as a low-rise pedestrian-scaled college
campus-like environment enhanced by 60% green space.Structural SystemThe
structural floor system consists of long-span wide-module joists
formed with 66-in. wide pans. For the bays spanning 39 ft - 8 in.,
35 ft - 8 in., and 39 ft - 8 in. in one direction, a 20-in. deep
pan is used. A 16-in. deep pan is utilized for bays spanning 31
ft - 8 in., 35 ft - 8 in., and 31 ft - 8 in. All bays are 24 ft
in the perpendicular direction. The joists are typically 12 in.
wide, and the topping slab is 4.6 in. thick.Nonprestressed reinforcement
was used for both the joists and the beams supporting the joists.
