LORING provided
mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering design for the
restoration, modernization and conversion of this 99,000 sf historic
structure built in the early 19th century and originally used as the
Old City Hall. Its most recent use has been that of a courthouse
whose activities were gradually transferred to other facilities as
the building ultimately lapsed into disuse.
As
part of a D.C. Court consolidation program, the scope of this project
includes a total renovation and restoration of the original building while
upgrading its infrastructure to "state-of-the-art" and
converting it to serve as the D.C. Court of Appeals. The current program
call for a 40,000 sf addition and a two-level, 90,000 sf underground
parking structure.
