* In March  of 2007, load testing on
the loggia that surrounds the second
floor was performed. A combination of
water barrels and small pools were
used to place 160 psf of load on the
loggia. Sensors below detected any
deflection in the structure. The load
tests resulted in less than .25" of
deflection.
