Lexhold Technology Center - Building A is one of two new sister buildings in the University of Kentucky's Coldstream Research Campus, offering space for office, research and development, and laboratory use. This five-story, 170K SF steel-framed structure achieves lateral stability with concentric braced frames in each direction.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) was integral to the project, enabling schematic sharing directly via a CIS/2 file with the fabricator/detailer. By linking the analytical model to the structural BIM, adjustments were made throughout design to frame the building as planned. This included modifying the top of steel in depressed and sloped areas and adding framing for additional load bracing. Architectural features like the fins on the building's front and rear, as well as the curved rotunda, were modeled manually in BIM. Although the architect also used BIM, interference detection was not applied for these elements.
