The District’s Deepest Building
Plans for the recently opened Marriott Marquis Washington, DC, called for the development of a 1.25 million sq ft building on a relatively small (100,000 sq ft) site. Because of the district’s limits on building heights, the hotel features seven below-grade levels extending to a depth of 100 ft to accommodate meetings, events, parking, and other functions. The extreme depth, together with severe space limitations and the need for large, column-free ballrooms below a 15-story hotel tower, compelled the structural engineering team to devise novel solutions to a number of design challenges.
