Grunley Construction provided general contracting services for the construction of two new buildings, one addition and one new building, totaling ~133,000 square feet plus a central utility plant all at the George P. Shultz National Foreign Affairs Training Center in Arlington, VA. The two buildings serve as administrative and instructional spaces for the State Department.
The two primary buildings are Building F, which was constructed adjacent to the existing training center, and Building K, which is a separate building located beside the new Building F addition.
Building F is a 3-story concrete structure and Building K is a 3-story steel structure with a concrete basement. Both buildings have new high efficiency mechanical and electrical systems, blast resistant windows, brick facades and flat roofs. The interior finishes are modern educational style environments with training, classroom, office and assembly spaces complete with state of the art audio-visual equipment. Building K connects to the main building at Building F by use of a new connector link constructed primarily of steel and glass.
Infrastructure upgrades were made to the Central Plant to support facility improvements and the addition of both buildings.
The Owner exercised additional options to include the construction of a new addition to the existing Childcare Center (which earned LEED NC 2.1 Silver certification), a new Visitor Center, a new Dining Facility and other site improvements.
