The U.S. General Services Administration last week awarded Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. the construction management contract for the renovation of the historic Federal Building at 50 United Nations Plaza in San Francisco.
The Federal Building at 50 UNP, which was originally designed by prominent local architect Arthur Brown, Jr. and completed in 1936, has not had a major renovation in its 75-year lifetime, the GSA said. The $122-million renovation project, funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, will convert the 350,213-sq-ft building into a high performance green building and is scheduled to be completed in 2013.
