Firm tapped for five Texas and Louisiana federal buildings and courthouses Philadelphia’s Wright Commissioning wins major Government projects P
“It’s a challenging timeline,” said Will Wright, “but we are comfortable with an acceler- ated pace. Our goals are to optimize performance of the building systems, identify op- portunities for cost-effective reductions in energy consump- tion and improve indoor condi- tions for building occupants. We aim to make sure that the building systems in these landmark structures run as efficiently as possible so tax- payer dollars aren’t wasted.” The five civic projects slated for retro-commissioning in- clude the monumental U.S.
Custom House in New Or- leans, a 386,000 s/f National Historic Landmark completed in 1881, one of the oldest and most important federal build- ings in the South; the 67,000 s/f Baton Rouge Federal Build- ing and Courthouse, a 1933 Neoclassical limestone struc- ture with a granite base and ionic columns; the adjacent Russell B.

Wright Commissioning has considerable experience with civic buildings, having com- pleted commissioning projects for the US Department of Ag- riculture, US National Guard, NAVFAC, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the City of Philadelphia, among oth- ers. n NGKF completes two leases totaling 16,490 s/f for The Center forGIHealth SPRING HOUSE, PA — Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) is pleased to announce that Justin Bell , managing director, and Neil Shupak , senior managing director, have completed two leases for The Center for GI Health (CGI), including a 14,490 s/f lease in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, and a 2,000 s/f lease in Spring House.
