HGA’s Ed Clements and Sarah Berseth are presenting the Arthur J. Altmeyer Social Security Administration building at the Facades+ Conference in Washington, D.C. on February 14.
Located on the Social Security Administration Woodlawn Campus, the Arthur J. Altmeyer Building serves as the primary offices for the Senior Social Security Administration personnel. The building was originally constructed in 1959 and includes 10 occupied stories. Mechanical systems for much of the campus are housed in the basement, and the building features a two-story penthouse on the roof. With many of the original systems and office design still in place, the General Services Administration recognized the opportunity to update the building into a state-of-the art, high performance office to serve the Social Security Administration for generations to come. The modernization and renovation included a complete re-cladding, all-new mechanical systems, and new stairs and elevator cores. The project is targeted for a LEED Silver certification as a result of the innovative facade design by SKA, and HGA, which increases the building’s energy capabilities to meet modern energy code standards.
