Virginia State Capitol Renovation

[vc_row content_aligment="center"][vc_column][vc_column_text] Draper Aden Associates was part of the design team for the planning and design of the complete renovation to the Virginia State Capitol and surrounding Capitol Square in Richmond, Virginia. The design completely replaced the existing building systems, added a 27,000 SF building extension, related infrastructure and landscape improvements in Capitol Square. 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...
