The new main complex for the Parsons Company is built on a 65,000 m2 lot, in a central área of the City of Pasadena affected by an urban renewai program. The built surface of 42,700 m2 consists of a 12-story central tower, with 1,400 m2 per floor and three satellite buildings, around the tower, with three stories each and a surface of 2,300 m2 per floor; at ground level additional space of 4,200 m2 per floor has been foreseen. The complex has 1,400 outdoor parking spaces in addition to 70 indoor parking spaces, located in two of the satellite bodies. The architects main objective was to give the building a solid and sturdy image, representative of the Company's activity —one of the world's leading engineering firms—by enclosing the exterior volumes with prefabricated concrete panel s. The lay-out of each floor was studied in order to permit adaptation to varied and flexible schemes.
