Yes. The designer of the roof, Erleen Hatfield, partner at Buro Happold who did the engineering says so. The tight schedule of getting the building to the point of occupation pushed off the testing and adjustment phase of the roof build. It will open and close all day long but not on it's own. 8 petals of 500-550 tons each can't just be jerked around sitting on the roof, it must be a ballet to maintain proper flex/deflection.
