School Without Walls
Location: Washington D.C. Delivery Method: Design Build Limbach and LEDS provided engineering, design, construction and commissioning for the renovation of the Grant School, a historic structure originally built in 1882. After a design-bid-build method failed to achieve costs below the budget, Limbach was hired to provide a cost-effective solution. The project was completed below budget (including the redesign fees) while achieving the desired LEED Gold Certification.
