The complex challenge was solved by designing steel eccentrically-braced frames with collectors and braces around the perimeter of the mezzanine and roof diaphragms. Most of the connection details were appreciatingly drafted in 3D in order to effectively communicate the design intent to the design team, the contractor, and the steel fabricator.
