Federal Center South Building 1202 is the “redevelopment” of an existing warehouse (Building 1202) located at Federal Center South in Seattle. The project is the result of the confluence of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which focused on improving our nation’s infrastructure and creating jobs, and the U.S. General Services Administration’s (GSA) Design Excellence program which focuses on selecting design teams that will push boundaries and generate innovation in design of our nation’s federal buildings.
The integrated design solution sets a new standard for high-performance, cost-effective, and sustainable workplace environments. The project was planned and designed in under 18 weeks via a design-build competition in order to guarantee the performance-based contract that met GSA’s construction budget, energy performance goals, and an aggressive design and construction schedule.
