The New York City-based firm recently won a $73 million contract from the General Services Administration to spearhead general contracting services for the conversion of a vacant 547,000-square-foot federal building into a premier office property.<\/p>\n<p>Federal Office Building 8, which sits within Federal Center Southwest not far from the U.S. Capitol, was developed in the 1960s and utilized as a laboratory. Turner is charged with transforming the structure into a modern office facility that will adhere to the government&#8217;s new green standards. Among the building&#8217;s sustainable features will be two new atriums, glass curtain walls and projected window bays. The project is designed to qualify for LEED Gold certification. <\/p>\n<p>When Turner&#8217;s work is done, Building 8 will become home to approximately 2,000 Department of Health and Human Services employees and committee staff members of the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n<p>Those big government contracts will continue to flow. GSA pocketed approximately $5.5 billion from the stimulus bill for the purpose of converting federal buildings into high-performance green buildings, as well as renovating and constructing new federal facilities and land ports of entry. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have set interim target dates for project awards in each quarter to ensure we obligate $5 billion of the more than $5.5 billion we received in Recovery Act funds by the end of fiscal year 2010,&#8221; Robert A. Peck, commissioner of GSA&#8217;s public Buildings Service, stated before a House of Representatives committee on February 23. A total of $4.5 billion of the funds are expressly designated for property greening activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to allotted funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the government has maintained a steady stream of construction activity during the recession, and Turner Construction Co. is getting in on the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":936,"featured_media":1004018164,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21782,11,21742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004018163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-development","category-midatlantic","category-latest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
