The Pentagon anticipates proceeding with its renovation. The announcement of a $620 million contract award to the developer/architectural team of Colorado-based Hensel Phelps is expected. The 12 to 14 year project would include the reconstruction of 4 million sf in four wedges of the five-story building, each wedge housing approximately 5,000 employees. In addition to Hensel Phelps Construction, the project team includes Shalom Baranes Associates, HDR Architecture, MC Dean, Studio Architecture, and Southland Industries. Alexandria, Va.-based Hanscomb Associates, the Pentagon’s renovation program consultant, says that construction of the wedge destroyed by terrorists will start immediately and continue concurrently with renovations on the other wedges.
