Press rooms. Public Information Unit/Training room. Bunk rooms and showers. Lounge
room, LAN/WAN room. Conference rooms, and ancillary spaces. All this to be on the
23"* floor of the building.
In addition, a radio room needs to be constructed on the roof, as well as supports
for miscellaneous antennas and dishes as this room does not exist at the present time.
Back-up systems are necessary to guarantee the operation of the entire facility in cases of
emergency, when the base building electrical systems fail to supply power to the
MOEM’s space. Back-ups include an emergency fuel oil tank and associated pumps to
be located at the ground floor level; three emergency generators, one switch gear, a fuel
oil tank, and a water tank, all to be located on the 7“ floor of the
7 WTC building.
This project requires a maximum construction which includes a number of
unusual elements, i.e., access flooring, bullet resistant partitions and glazing, special
illumination, acoustic treatment of ceilings and walls, dedicated bathrooms, custom
millwork, above standards finishes, specialized furniture, high tech audio visual
equipment, and back-up mechanical equipment.
