STRUCTURS CHARACTERISTICS

• A parabolic-shaped with a 90-foot high ceiling

7
MATERIALS USED
20,000 cubic yards of concrete 81 million pounds.
If that amount of concrete were formed into a 1
by 1 foot square column, it would reach 102 miles
into the sky.
8
If the structure were not so heavy, it would
float if the lake level got too high!
Approximately 2,100 tons of steel reinforcing
bar has been used in the concrete.
Since the lowest floor in the addition is
approximately 13 feet below the anticipated
100-year level of Lake Michigan, the 81
million-pound dead weight is resisting
approximately 48 million pounds of buoyant
pressure.
9
Using an average diameter of 7/8 inch, that
amount of steel, laid end-to-end, would stretch
339 miles There are approximately 915 separate
panes of glass Fewer than 6 are
standard-orientation window glass, that is,
completely vertical, flat panes of glass the
rest are either tilted, curved, or both.
