The SCOPE

The World Tech Center is designed to be a multi-purpose STEM development and networking complex. It comprises eight buildings in a 35 acre site. The striking feature are the Twin Towers, each 110 stories tall and towering 1,500 feet into the sky.

Buildings

The Twin Towers are designed to the latest in modern safety standards that improve massively from the legacy: a UHPC concrete core, 4 stairwells, double-deck elevators, and A514 high strength structural steel for the I-Beam floor members and exterior wall.
