SKYLIGHT REPLACEMENT IN RUSSELL SENATE OFFICE BUILDING AWARDED TO GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION
Rockville, MD – Grunley Construction Company, Inc. has been awarded an $887,000 contract from the Office of the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) for the skylight replacement and oculus lighting upgrade at the Russell Senate Office Building (RSOB) in Washington, DC. The RSOB was the first Senate Office Building constructed on Capitol Hill in 1906. The building houses the Kennedy Caucus Room, which was the site of dramatic Senate investigations such as the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, the Teapot Dome investigation in 1923, the Army-McCarthy Hearings in 1954, and the Watergate investigation in 1973.
The project will include the replacement of six skylights including the Oculus skylight at the top of the main rotunda. The scope of work also includes installing new safety rails around the new skylights, a new laylight and selective copper roofing, plaster patching, and lightning protection work. Grunley Construction is ranked by Engineering News Record among the "Top Green Contractors" in the United States.
