| Jacobs to restore a great San Francisco landmark Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. announced that it received an award from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to provide construction management services for the renovation of the historic Federal Building at 50 United Nations Plaza (50 UNP) in San Francisco, Calif. The Federal Building at 50 UNP, which was designed by prominent local architect Arthur Brown, Jr. and completed in 1936, has not had a major renovation in its 75-year lifetime. This $122M renovation project is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which has stringent budget and schedule constraints in addition to increased reporting requirements. This project will convert the 350, 213 GSF building into a high performance green building and is scheduled to be completed in 2013. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
