METCALFE SECURITY

Interiors | Renovation | Civic

KOO worked with the GSA, Security, and Building Staff to evaluate design options for enhancing the security design in the lobby of the Metcalfe Federal Building. The project seamlessly blends into the original building design with a minimal palette that utilizes the same granite type of the original building. The design team studied a number of options for turnstile types, locations, and orientation. Our team studied sizes and locations of information desks and security stations, as well, working with the GSA to identify an appropriate solution to help the physical infrastructure of the lobby support the day-to-day operation of the building

KOO and our consultant team integrated power, technology, and low-voltage requirements for the turnstiles, security station, and information desk. The KOO team also replaced an obsolete revolving exterior door. This task involved careful coordination with a separate plaza renovation project that included waterproofing at the revolving door.

KOO provided a full range of services from a study phase through CM&I & Closeout. During the Construction phase of the project, KOO was frequently on site to provide oversight, review granite and other material samples, and to review mockups.This project is part of KOO’s current IDIQ contract for Region 5. This is our second 5-year IDIQ contract for the region for which we have consistently received favorable evaluations.
