Q4 2024 Project Update

The fiber reinforced polymer submittal was given to DSA for review on November 19 as part of the seismic retrofit for the upper levels of the building. The state agency is anticipated to provide its approval in the coming weeks, after which work will begin and finish in February 2025. Cast-in-drill-hole activities around the building perimeter are complete, and the micropile installation for the seismic retrofit is ongoing.

DSA has approved a Construction Change Directive to allow for 10 micropiles to be drilled in areas where there are challenges in achieving standard clearance for the equipment. Pile cap activities will commence after micropile driving ends in January 2025.

The rough-in for heating, ventilation, cooling, and plumbing on the second and first floors has been addressed. Interior plaster stabilization is finished, and historic window restoration is expected to conclude this month.

The project is anticipated to reach substantial completion by mid-January 2026 and will conclude in February 2026.
