Federal Building (Oklahoma City, OK)

GSA noticed that 33% of its tenants in Oklahoma City changed their office space annually due to reorganizations or other reconfigurations. Through the use of underfloor air distribution and individual control over airflow, the cost of office churn can be reduced dramatically. A peer review of the initial building design resulted in a concrete structure with underfloor air and a reduction in floor-to-floor height of 15".
