The first building received seismic strengthening work, demolition and replacement of interior walls and partitions to accommodate an open office concept, replacement of the window wall system to conform to AT/FP and low energy requirements, installation of energy efficient HVAC system, and installation of secure telecommunication lines for video teleconferencing.

Project Highlights

Throughout the duration of the renovations, the existing communications room had to remain functional. 

The former athletic storage building was converted into a Power Plant Facility to accommodate the installations of two new 500 KW and one 150 KW emergency generators. 

Renovation of the cafeteria included removal of cafeteria equipment, demolition of existing interior partitions, and installation of new interior partitions and tile work for use as an administrative facility for the new headquarters.

The gymnasium was deconstructed, removed, and turned into additional parking. Some of this parking included carpool stalls to meet LEED requirements.

The project included removal of existing roadway and parking, as well as the construction of a new parking lot and sidewalks to meet AT/FP requirements. Our team installed perimeter security lighting, fencing, and building mounted flood lights to illuminate the building and surrounding areas during times of emergency or special operations.
