Headquarters Renovation and Vertical Expansion

IMEG provided structural engineering design services for the redevelopment of the former five-story Marketplace Design Center building into the new Aramark headquarters. The project, located at 2400 Market Street, consisted of a five-story overbuild onto the existing structure to create a block-wide, nine-story mixed-use development.

The existing building is concrete slab with concrete columns. The overbuild is structural steel — slab on metal deck with steel columns and beams — with concrete shear walls going down through the existing building and up to the new roof.

The project is comprised of 450,000-sf of office space. Renovations to the first floor included new retail space and a modern wellness/fitness center. The facade is multi-surfaced, the existing facade has been replaced, and the office levels of the overbuild are clad with a curtain wall system.
