Summary

St. Elizabeths, a 100 year old former mental health hospital in Washington DC, is being remodeled into the Homeland Security Headquarters. The new CUP includes a 9100 ton chiller plant, 1500 MBH HHW plant and 21 MW of electrical generation – built underground to preserve historic integrity in a fast track project. Design and construction posed several challenges not anticipated in the site master plan. This presentation will discuss successes and lessons learned.
