A reinforcement assembly for a structural pillar includes an upper reinforcement that extends over a top of a wheel house and first and second surfaces. An area extends between the first and second surfaces such that the area defines a substantial right triangle over the wheel house. A slot within the area is defined to allow a duct connected to a casing to extend through the upper reinforcement. The reinforcement assembly further includes a lower reinforcement attached to the first surface of the upper reinforcement. The lower reinforcement extends parallel to the wheel house and perpendicular to the floor such that a load path is established through the upper and lower reinforcements.
