Workers To Remain During Renovations
WEST VIRGINIA....
Most of the 530 employees who work at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Huntington District office building will likely remain in the building during a $32.7 million renovation project that is expected to last three years. Studies are being conducted to determine how the work can be done in an occupied or partially occupied building during construction. It is anticipated that most construction will be performed at night to minimize impacts to the work force. Improvements to the building will occur in two phases. One phase involves post-9/11 security upgrades that have been mandated by the Department of Defense and must be completed by 2013. The Corps of Engineers has earmarked $16 million for the security upgrades. The other phase would use $16.7 million in funds provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to make the building energy-efficient.
