Facts
Encased at the Louisiana-Capitol corner is a pre-existing 2-story building. This accounts for the extremely high level of the second floor of the Bank Of America Center.
It took nine months to complete excavation of the site, which resulted in a maximum depth of 52 feet below grade.
In 12 hours, 168 trucks managed to pour 11,000 cubic yards of concrete that make up the foundation.
In 1987, this building won honors as Regional Building of the Year from the Building Owners and Managers Association, and recieved the Award of Distinction from the Associated Contractors of America.
Gensler & Associates were responsible for the interior design of the bank's spaces.
The structure enclosing the 2-story building is 120 feet tall.
