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.
Surrounding the landmark 110-story Twin Towers are six low rise buildings dedicated to specific STEM fields and housing a variety of welcoming amenities. These include a hotel, underground shopping mall, a massive library, atriums, and exhibition space.
