PROJECT SUMMARY / BACKGROUND:
The General Service Administration is anticipating procuring the design build services for Phases 5 and 6 of the USAID office renovation in the occupied Ronald Reagan Building (RRB). The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) coordinates many global programs and operational functions from its Headquarters building in Washington, DC. One of the primary locations for USAID in DC is the Ronald Reagan Building (RRB) which was originally constructed in 1997 with USAID as one of the original tenant Agencies. USAID's space is in the North portion of the building totaling approximately 530,378 USF with 7 stories above grade and additional space on the Mezzanine level and three basement levels.
A major track in USAID's Washington Real Estate Strategy is to renovate the 20-year-old legacy space at the RRB in an effort to create a work environment that meets a modernized workplace, including sustainability standards, and promotes up-to-date technology use which will augment efficient workflow.
