History

The building was designed by Portman Architects, whose founder John C. Portman Jr. was a Georgia Tech graduate.[3] Portman had been awarded the contract in 2015 to design what was then referred to as the High Performance Computing Center.[4] Construction of the building cost an estimated $375 million, and it was officially declared open on May 23, 2019.[5] As part of the construction, the nearby Crum & Forster Building was partially demolished, with the remaining portion of the building housing a restaurant and special-events space.[6]

The building is notable for housing the world's tallest spiral staircase.[7]

Elevators

CODA features ThyssenKrupp's TWiN elevator system, the first twin-lift system in North America.
