Questions & Answers
A general list of asked questions about our vision, summited via the community through our social media
How tall would the Twin Towers rise to?
The Twin Towers will have a roof height of just over 1500 feet (460 m). The spire atop the Science South Tower reaches a pinnacle height of 1969 feet (600 m). This symbolizes the year of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
What materials would be used in the structure?
The materials that form the structural and aesthetical elements of the World Tech Center would be A514 and A992 structural steel I-beams and welded box columns bolted together, Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) for the core (using slip-forming techniques), and eco friendly lightweight concrete for the floor slabs. The glass will be tinted reflective blue with anodized blue aluminium floor dividers. The lobby windows and floors are designed to be bulletproof, but can be detached (from internally) in an emergency or maintenance. The Tridents are also anodized metal such as Titanium or Aluminium, with chrome-plated stainless steel accents. Internaly, brushed stainless steel form the lobby columns, and both real granite and artificial marble are used, along with sustainable and fire-resistant wooden ceiling and panelleing, mirrors and LED lighting throughout.
What steps is Chryslar taking to bring this vision to life?
Details on how the vision would come to life are detailed in the Strategy section
What days would the complex be closed for observances?
Example: Sep 11 or Christmas?
The World Technology Center will be closed on September 11, and other federal holidays throughout the calendar year (including Christmas). Only essential personnel would be allowed access. Services and ceremonies on-campus such as the plaza and gardens would be permitted. Atop the South Tower spire, the American flag - the largest waving flag in the Nation, would be lowered to half-mast accordingly.
Would there be external night lights just like the Empire State Building?
Indeed. There will be strip lights along the chamfered corners, rooftop and spire that are RGB LED - allowing it to change color at night depending on the observance.
