Design Intent • Act as a bridge between existing
architecture buildings to unify the architecture complex.
• Provide interaction between buildings as a collaborative space.
• Cantilevers over University Avenue to provide visual connection to the Foundry.

Milstein Hall
• Relatively few columns supporting Milstein Hall’s heavy superstructure. • Cylindrical concrete caissons placed beneath the footings and column caps almost 30 feet below the ground to touch the solid bedrock.

• The trusses are a hybrid: the traditional truss design and the Vierendeel design. • Actually rigid frames with some slanted members to reduce bending stresses.

Dome • Independent from building
structure. Concrete mass in the middle of steel building structure.
• One side supports auditorium
seating. • Stairway to second floor plate
on opposite side. • Entire dome cast-in-place in one
pour. • Concrete bridge spanning
through the dome space.

Milstein Hall
Lateral Force
• The lateral forces are dealt without using shear walls or diagonal bracings. • Uses rigid connections where the columns intersect the trusses or the girders to resist lateral loading.

Construction
Milstein Hall
• Framework comprised of 1,125 tons of steel. • All trusses shop fabricated and transported to site. • 600-ton crane necessary to lift each 62-ton beam. • Assembly required welding pieces together on site. • Trusses required significant shoring until all the welding was
complete. • Dome required extensive formwork and was all poured
within a single 12 hour period.

Fire Safety, Compliance and Funding
Issues
• Johnathan Ochshorn,
Cornell Arch. Professor
• Single exit at Critique Space.
• Protruding objects into egress paths.
• Some instances without guards for headroom.
• Inadequate fire barriers between
Milstein and Sibley Halls.
• Delay in Construction due to funding.
