If you follow the link, it states "A notable aspect of the building’s design includes application of a prefabricated internal frame system that requires bolts and collar connections for onsite assembly rather than more conventional welding. The manufacturer claims their system’s installation is faster and safer, and the finished frame is lighter and more seismically sound, when compared to competitive steel and reinforced concrete frames."
