Scope Of Work
DVC collaborated with DC Department of General Services (DGS) architects to demolish and reconstruct the 611 N Street Women’s Shelter. The scope of this project originally involved the complete interior and exterior renovation of a two-story, 15,000-SF temporary housing shelter.
The project was redesigned after the discovery of a damaged roof. The building was demolished to the foundation and newly constructed. DVC incorporated numerous sustainable-design features into the project to achieve LEED-Silver certification. DVC identified cost-savings and value-engineering solutions that returned approximately $600,000 to the DC DGS.
Upon completion of the project, the Mayor conducted a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony in acknowledgement of the facility’s importance and in recognition of DVC’s quality construction services.
