Chavez Building Getting a More Modern, Efficient Exterior Skin
Denver’s GE Johnson Construction Co. is well under way with the transformation of the César E. Chávez Memorial Building in Denver into a state-of-the-art, high-performing green building—one with an entirely new skin over its 1982 bones.
The $37.4-million project, funded by the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, completely replaces the exterior skin on the 10-story, 147,156-sq-ft office building that houses five federal agencies, including the Social Security Administration, Dept. of Agriculture, Government Accounting Office, Dept. of Justice and the Dept. of Education.
