Huntington Federal Building Energy Repairs and Alterations

Constructed in 1960, the Huntington Federal Building is 7 stories, 135,000 SF, and is located on a prominent street corner in downtown Huntington, WV. The building has served as the headquarters for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntington District Office. This project involved a major renovation and modernization to improve energy efficiency, security, and sustainability. The improvements consisted of a complete façade replacement, force protection upgrades, new HVAC systems, complete interior tenant improvements, and new furniture. Because the building remained occupied during the renovation, the construction was phased and all work performed during the night.
