Description:
President Obama and Former President Clinton toured this project and used it as a platform to announce the administration’s plan to provide nearly $4 Billion in combined federal and private sector energy upgrades to buildings over the next two years.
It is a 45-year-old B+ Class office building currently in the process of being converted to a trophy green facility in order to support the Owner’s vision for a high-performance, sustainable facility.
The project includes a complete mechanical refurbishment of an occupied building including replacing the existing DX cooling towers, hydronic pumps, chillers, hydronic heaters, outside air dampers, cooling coils, and all necessary piping for the system to operate, as well as replacement of the existing masonry and precast concrete building façade with a new unitized curtainwall system and storefront system, replacement of the building core toilet rooms and electrical closets, main lobby renovation, new rear lobby with porte-cochere for valet drop-off, new fitness center, and new plaza.
