Project Details

WFT Engineering provided detailed systems analysis, energy consumption estimates, and life cycle cost analysis for site storm, sanitary, plumbing, and fire protection portions of this landmark project. The General Services Administration Federal Office Building will serve as a headquarters for a federal agency requiring the highest security standards. It is located at the intersection of New York and Florida Avenues, in an industrial area that is beginning a process of urban renewal and rejuvenation. This 440,000 sf building accommodates general office space, laboratories, an auditorium, secure parking, retail, security, and auxiliary services. The project included interface with District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (DCWASA), Washington Gas, and Pepco to design the secure underground, blast hardened parking garage for over 200 cars, bicycles, and maintenance storage, as well as service entrances within the $80,000,000 dollar budget.
