American University relocated to a 95,000 SF building at 4401 Connecticut Avenue, NW in Washington, DC. The entire 7-floor building and garage was gutted and renovated to meet the university’s requirements to provide space on the lower floors for their public radio station, WAMU 88.5, and administrative and office areas on the upper floors. New MEP systems were installed to allow for the many different programming units within the building, including providing N+1 redundancy for the broadcasting studios. BIM processes were used throughout the project to ensure the renovation was completed efficiently.
