5100 Eastpark Building - Stevens Construction Corp.
Madison , WI

The gross building size is 67,791 square feet, with three floors averaging 16,942 square feet and a 16,964 square foot basement. The basement has underground parking with 20 spaces, approximately 5,000 square feet of storage space, a 1,000 square foot conference/training room, and a 400 square foot break room. An elevator and three staircases services each floor, as well as the basement. The building is extremely economical due to its efficient use of space with each floor utilizing three points of access with two of the staircases located outside of the building envelope.

The exterior is comprised of three basic construction materials, brick, pre-cast concrete and glass, offering different perspectives from varying distances. Red brick veneer will be used throughout the first and second floors to frame and accent the pre-cast concrete spandrel panels. Expansive use of glass, especially on the first and third floors, allows natural light to penetrate into the interior of the building. Pre-cast concrete architectural columns also offer vertical separation between window bays that coincide with the building’s structural steel framing. An arch shaped standing seam roof resting on bowstring trusses tops off the three-story entry that has a self-supporting helix staircase. The staircase offers views through a curtain wall window system extending from the ground to the roof in the entry space.
