Dali Museum
Architect: HOK (Yann Weymouth)
Contractor: Beck
Categories: architectural, completed, museum, pre-construction, turnkey
Location: St. Petersburg, Florida
RSI was selected for the structural concrete of the $30 million, 66,400-square-foot Salvador Dai Museum in St. Petersburg. The building features a one-way cast-in-place concrete slab and beam system for the base structural system. Internationally acclaimed architect Yann Weymouth, with HOK’s Tampa office, designed the museum. There were many challenges to be met with this structure: The building had to sustain hurricane winds, and it was built on a plot of land that was only 5 inches above sea level. The architect had specific ideas about eliminating surface lines in the structure. To accommodate these challenges, RSI worked very closely with the design team to ensure their vision.
