Innovation was the key to adding a fourth traffic lane to a congested 2,856-ft-long crossing along a critical route connecting central Maryland with the Chesapeake Bay Bridges and the Eastern Shore. 

The team says the $201-million project represents Carnegie Mellon University’s “future vision as an ecology of active learning, research and resources.” 

As the largest non-residence hall project in Longwood’s history, the $32.5-million, 84,000-sq-ft building was a high-profile effort in more ways than one. 

This $71.5-million project to renovate and reprogram a hospital’s perioperative services floor involved reconfiguring operating rooms, a pre-operation services unit and a post-anesthesia care unit.

Incorporating a former  company headquarters, the 420,000-sq-ft addition combined construction with renovations, creating one of metropolitan Washington, D.C.’s most advanced cancer treatment centers.

This 75-year-old community landmark will reliably serve many more generations of visitors thanks to a comprehensive renovation and expansion project that updates and expands public and administrative spaces, the team says.

Modularization was the key, the project team says, to efficiently constructing and commissioning one of the world’s largest natural-gas-fired, combined-cycle power stations in just 30 months.

Equipped with some of the newest natural-gas-powered turbine technologies, this 1,500-MW facility can power more than 1 million homes, providing a highly flexible and reliable addition to the region’s energy grid.

Architecturally expressed structural-steel beams erected in a part of Washington, D.C., where concrete buildings are common, more than make their mark on the city’s bustling L’Enfant Plaza.
