Cyber Innovation Center :: Bossier City, LA

Morphy, Makofsky, Inc. provided structural engineering for the nearly 140,000-square-foot building, which is encased in blast-resistant glass panels. The building includes office space, classrooms, meeting rooms and laboratories. More than 45,000 square feet was designated as high-security, sensitive compartmented information facility space. The structure was built to withstand explosions. The foundation system for the CIC consists of pile groups at major column locations encased by concrete pile caps. Single piles were utilized to support the first-floor construction. Augured cast-in-place pilings 18” in diameter were selected to provide the support of the structure. A 70-ton pile was used to support the superstructure, and a 27-ton pile was used to support the first floor construction.
