Nope! They just made sure to place the elevators at the high end and put rubber bumpers on the lower end of each floor.
The article wasn’t exactly clear, but it sounds like it was. Originally they tried a solution called a “dance floor” setup, but after discovering the same issues at the Children’s tower, BJC demanded the “dance floor” be removed and both buildings be leveled out.KansasCitian wrote:I never heard about this.
Were the floors corrected?
I heard about this from a few sources in the construction industry at the time. Apparently they ordered and installed structural steel beams for the floors without camber, which is having the beams bent slightly upwards, so that when the weight of the concrete floor is placed on it they become even. By using beams without camber, the floors wound up sloping downward, apparently badly enough that IV poles would roll across the room.
