• PTA Best Project Award Winner

  Company: Phoenix Specialist Contracting (PSC)
  Project: The Marshall Building

   

  The Marshall Building is a new building for the London School of Economic Estate. It consists of a double basement formed in reinforced concrete and a 10 storey post-tensioned (PT) superstructure above. The concrete is entirely exposed throughout, with large, impressive PT transfer beams at Levels 1 and 3, known as ‘tree beams’. The building has large, open plan communal areas with maximum floor plans and minimal surface finishes. The PT structure itself provides the centre point and main aesthetic for the building. The tree beams act as transfer beams to allow the column grids to rotate by 45 degrees between floors and accommodate the floor plans required by the client. They also create an impressive atmosphere with their grand scale, reaching 7m at their highest point, with the sloping transfer beams tapering from 3.5m deep at column locations to 1.5m mid span, creating clear typical spans of 15m.
