PROGRAM

Join EP|YAF for a virtual architectural tour of the nearly completed Advance Auto Parts Tower (AAPT) at lunchtime, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm, on Wednesday, July 29th as Duda|Paine Architects walks us around the site landscape and arcade, through the lobby, and up the elevator to the 10th floor amenity level.

The nearly completed Advance Auto Parts Tower (AAPT) is a 20-story building comprised of 11 floors of Class A office above 8 levels of integrated parking, located prominently along Six Forks Road and the I-440 beltline in the flourishing Norths Hills mixed-use district in midtown Raleigh – the new building aids in the integration of office environments into the district’s unique combination of live, shop, play, and stay venues. Duda|Paine Architects’ Michael Holborn, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, and Jill Hathorn, AIA, will lead us on this virtual architectural tour, which will start at the generous entry plaza, move into the ground-level lobby, up the elevator to the level 10 amenities, ending with the expansive views of Raleigh in an office suite.

• Participants will discover the unique challenges of integrating office environments into an already well-established mixed-use district
• Participants will integrate adaptation strategies for the construction administration process during a global pandemic
