The celebration marks the final placement of structural steel on the three-story frame structure. Located at 1000 Campus Drive, Sterling, VA 20164, the new state-of-the-art facility will help the campus continue its expansion and transformation into a progressive education campus; NVCC plans to link up with other Virginia Universities to offer Bachelors Degrees to its students.<\/p>\n<p>The Higher Education Center is designed to engage the students academically, technologically and socially. The academic facility will house classrooms, labs, common areas, a multi-purpose room, and office space as well as a sound isolated recording studio with control room. Advanced telecommunications capabilities will help to facilitate the connection between NVCC and its partner universities.<\/p>\n<p>A glass curtainwall will be featured and the remaining fa\u00e7ade is brick and stone veneer with metal wall panels. A cantilevered second floor will dramatically extend over the campus pond, and a walkway across the water will connect the building with the recently completed Learning Commons complex. Construction of the project includes temporary, partial drainage of the pond for building footings, retaining walls, landscape and hardscape improvements. Building systems include an 80 well geothermal field and other energy conserving systems.<\/p>\n<p>The project is targeting LEED\u00ae Silver certification for the project. Scheduled completion for the Higher Education Center is first quarter 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 400px;height: 267px\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SIGAL_Celebrates_NVCC_Topping-img1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 400px;height: 267px\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SIGAL_Celebrates_NVCC_Topping-img2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 400px;height: 267px\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/SIGAL_Celebrates_NVCC_Topping-img3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>About SIGAL Construction Corporation<\/strong><br \/>\nFounded in 1977, SIGAL Construction Corporation (SIGAL) is one of Washington\u2019s premier general contractors, known throughout the industry for its dedication to sustainability, high quality, cost consciousness, excellent client relations, and the ability to successfully complete unique and challenging projects.
