Located two blocks from Independence Hall, just steps from Carpenter’s Hall and across the street from the First Bank of the United States, the 118,000-sq-ft museum (ENR MidAtlantic 6/16 p. 28) was squeezed into a tight site in Philadelphia’s Old City.

The museum has had several additions and renovations since it opened in 1977 in Richmond’s former Broad Street railroad station. 

The $58.7-million, 108,100-sq-ft High Bay Research Facility is a critical part of the University of Wyoming’s bid to become a Tier 1 school in engineering and the sciences.

Designed to achieve net-zero energy use, the renovated 20,000-sq-ft space incorporates numerous sustainable elements as well as data-driven decisions to create what DPR calls a “living laboratory” that showcases technologies, products and systems.

Located in Washington Dulles International Airport’s international concourse, the 4,900-sq-ft project includes four lounge seating areas with buffets, a bar, spa/shower, prayer rooms, VIP area, commercial kitchen, television walls, flight displays and a fireplace.

A tight 15-month schedule for converting Cabrini University’s outdated and cramped athletics building into a top-flight sports facility and events venue required the team to coordinate activities to keep parts of the building open and fully functioning during construction.
