DC City Hall/Courthouse
In 2009, DGA completed construction phase services on a $99 million historic preservation, adaptive reuse effort to convert the landmark Old DC City Hall for use as a federal courthouse facility. Our scope of work included the development of lighting design strategies for public areas, courtrooms, judges' chambers, library, atrium rotunda and exterior site lighting utilizing the latest US Federal Court [GSA] and PBS Standards [ASHRAE] as a guideline. Our services on the project included programming analysis of light level requirements, tentative design phase budgeting, and computer generated lighting calculations, as well as specifications for lighting equipment, control systems and historic custom luminaire design. The building achieved LEED Certification.
