Best Renovation/Restoration and Project of the Year Finalist: Cannon House Revitalization Phase 2
After more than a century of use, aging systems were creating ongoing safety, health, environmental and operational issues in the Cannon House Office Building—the oldest congressional office building on the U.S. Capitol campus.
The $659-million Phase 2 revitalization, a joint venture of Clark Construction and The Christman Co., set out to modernize and renovate the portion of the building that faces Independence Avenue—arguably the building’s most prominent facade. The project was part of the 10-year, five-phase Cannon House Office Building Renewal project, led by the Architect of the Capitol.
