DCS Design | Davis Carter Scott One Washingtonian Center Repositioning 

GPI provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and structural engineering consulting services for the One Washingtonian Center Repositioning Project.

The project was completed in two phases. The first phase involved renovation and enhancement of the existing building, including the replacement of light fixtures at the front entrance; new lighting and replacement of air distribution devices in the main building lobby, the concierge desk, and the second floor elevator lobby; and outdoor lighting and ADA access to the outdoor back patio.

The second phase included engineering design for a conference center, tenant lounge, coffee bar, fitness center with locker rooms and showers, a Grab-and-Go Café, the management office, and a wellness room. Both the conference center and fitness center required new mechanical systems. GPI’s structural engineering team worked directly with the owner and contractor and performed core drill reviews, provided a study to determine if the floor slab could support a forklift, and provided design for a new steel beam required for the hung operable partition in the new conference center.
