Scope Of Work
Located between the George R. Brown Convention Center & Minute Maid park, development of the Nau Center for Texas Cultural Heritage involved the relocation & historical preservation of two structures (homes) to serve as a cultural hub (visitor center) for tourists & Southeast Texas visitors. TGE was selected to execute comprehensive environmental services under Bailey Architects, which involved Phase I ESAs and NEPA-related tasks to identify building-related hazards (asbestos, lead paint, hazardous materials), prepare project specifications for their control during renovation, and full project monitoring and reporting during renovation. TGE took great care to utilize means and methods to minimize disturbance and damage while maximizing preservation of historical elements as closely as possible to their original form. At project completion, building hazards were successfully removed in their entirety without historic or aesthetic loss.
