Arlington, VA, — The construction team of GCS-SIGAL, LLC was recently praised for its efforts at Cardozo High School on a local DC neighborhood blog website.
The article on PoPville.com states “… I have to give the construction crew a lot of credit. The same guys have been working traffic on the corner of 13th and Clifton for the last year and a half, and they have always been friendly and respectful. One of the hassles of living next to a construction site is finding your car stuck on a road blocked in every direction by construction vehicles, but the crew have always done their best to minimize these headaches. Their attitude has kept me more cheerful about the whole thing.”
The project at Cardozo High School consists of a 355,400 square foot renovation of the existing historic building and a new 40,000 square foot below-grade athletic center and gymnasium. Originally completed in 1916 as Central High, the new Cardozo High School will accommodate 1,100 students upon completion. Project modernization includes new MEP systems, ADA improvements, code compliance, site improvements, technology improvements, and new furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) requirements.
Sustainable design requirements are incorporated to meet LEED® Gold for schools.
