Procon Consulting

SAME Project of Excellence: The Seattle Federal Office Building We love a project with unique architectural details and a rich history. Procon is thrilled to receive a Project of Excellence Award from the Society of American Military Engineers Seattle Post for our work as the CM as Advisor to GSA R10 for the exterior restoration of the Settle Federal Office Building in downtown Seattle. This 86-year old building houses various federal agency offices across 12 stories and 307,150 SF. The Seattle FOB was registered as a National Historic Building in 1979, meaning all of the renovation work had to preserve the Art Deco architecture and comply with the guidelines for historic structures. Preserving some of the buildings original features and materials required custom solutions, enhanced collaboration, and creative problem-solving. The use of double pane vacuum insulated glass (VIG) for the window restoration was the first of its kind for a GSA historical building and provided improved sound and energy insulation. By the project's completion, thousands of red exterior bricks had been replaced, along with 720 windows. Huge congratulations to Procon's Senior Project Manager, Allen Wycoff, on this well-deserved win! Allen worked closely with the client and the project team, Lydig Construction and SHKS Architects, to address a plethora of challenges including the pandemic, the political climate in downtown Seattle, and complex historic preservation requirements. #TeamProcon #SeattleFederalOfficeBuilding #SAME #SocietyofMilitaryEngineers #ProjectofExcellence #Innovation #Collaboration #HistoricPreservation #ExteriorRestoration #FederalOfficeBuilding #ConstructionManagement
