The dramatic
glass and steel structure at 1000 Fourth Ave. in the heart of
downtown Seattle was chosen to make the building open and
translucent, according to Rem Koolhaas of OMA, the Dutch
architectural firm that designed the building in a joint venture
with LMN Architects of Seattle. Passers by on the street will
be able to look in and see activity on every floor of the
library.
The electrical distribution system for this project consisted of
a main switchboard (3000 Amp). A 1,250 kW generator provides
emergency power to an 2000 ampere emergency distribution
switchboard.
