Recovery Act Project Update A Recovery Act funded project was completed at the building in February 2010. The energy-saving “green” elements of the project included replacing the air-cooled chiller with a water-cooled model, replacing the building automation system with a new energy management system, replacing the drywall skylight-shading feature with a fabric canopy, and replacing old light fixtures with newer, more efficient models. The project also installed new variable-frequency drives for water distribution and air-handling units and new sensor controls for rain irrigation and occupancy lighting.
Public Hours and Access The building is open to the public 8:00 a.m.– 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday (except federal holidays). All visitors must undergo security screening and present a valid identity card (such as a state driver's license or federal ID) before gaining access to the building.
