“The National Trust for Historic Preservation’s former Dupont Circle headquarters is being primed for a major overhaul...
... AEI has retained Grunley Construction Co. to oversee the renovations, slated to include new mechanical and electrical systems, a restored limestone facade and new level below the building’s existing basement. The improvements were designed by Hartman-Cox Architects and are slated to be completed by August 2015.”
“Washington, DC—The National Gallery of Art plans to construct with private donations 12,260 square feet of art exhibition space within the current footprint of the East Building on the National Mall. The new spaces will include an outdoor sculpture terrace overlooking Pennsylvania Avenue and two flanking sky-lit interior Tower Galleries. They will primarily display modern art from the permanent collection. This work will occur in coordination with the federally funded Master Facilities Plan, a renovation program that began in the West Building in 1999 and continues in the East Building. During this phase of the East Building renovation, galleries will close on a gradual basis from July 2013 through December 2013, when all of the galleries will be closed. Construction will begin in January 2014 and last approximately three years, at which time the galleries will reopen. Subsequent phases of the renovations in other parts of the East Building will be announced at a later date.”
