Award Description: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) has allocated funding for the design and modernization of the 10 West Jackson Federal Building, and the adjacent federally owned buildings at 18 West Jackson and 230 South State Street. The ARRA funding is designated for 'High Performance Green Building' projects. As part of the project approximately 40,000 r.s.f. of office space will be built out for the Department of Labor. The Ground Floor is comprised of retail tenants, a new lobby and service spaces. Since the building will house both federal and retail outleases, the project is to provide a dedicated entrance and secured circulation for federal tenants separate from retail tenants. A new entrance, lobby, and security station will be located off of Quincy Court. The existing interior sapce will be renovated for DOL and, in the remaining space, a warm-lit shell will be built for future tenant build outs.The building's restrooms will be upgraded to conform to the Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility standards. The building's mechanical systems will also be upgraded to enhance the performance of the HVAC system and to save energy. The fire alarm and sprinkler system will be extended into all spaces not already protected. Outdated elevator equipment is to be replaced. The exterior envelope and windows are to be replaced. All scope items are to improve and/or address the building's performance. The design intent is for the building to achieve LEED Silver certification. The project shall modernize the building envelope and systems for the next 25 years, providing a mechanical infrastructure to respond to the requirements of ARRA and EISA 2007 acts. 4240 Architecture was awarded the contract for A-E services and has assembled a team of consultants to produce the design and Contract Documents.
