Dewey Gottwald Center at the Science Museum of Virginia

[vc_row content_aligment="center"][vc_column][vc_column_text] The Science Museum of Virginia attracts hundreds of thousands of guests annually through exhibits, artifacts, and interactive technologies. Under the leadership of Rich Conti, the Science Museum embarked on an ambitious campaign to renovate the existing museum and expand with the addition of the Dewey Gottwald Center, a $12 million facility that offers dynamic spaces for events and meetings. Draper Aden performed the site design for grading and drainage. Our site design included provisions for abnormal rain events, grading design for the site, and relief points to ensure that water moved around the structure, and not in it, during heavy rain events. This project was honored by Engineering News-Record as the ENR Mid-Atlantic Best Project Winner in the Cultural/Worship category [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

The project was designed to meet current programming needs, addressed the 2007 statewide celebration plans, and extended the useful life of the historic Virginia State Capitol. Draper Aden Associates assembled complete base mapping for the Capitol Square, including some subsurface utility verification and supplemental ground surveys. We conducted a hydrogeologic study to determine anticipated impacts of groundwater and conducted a geotechnical study that included subsurface investigation, materials testing, and engineering consultation for the structural designs. We also provided an Environmental Impact Report in accordance with state standards for the project. Our site engineering team provided civil engineering design for...
