Springfield, Va.
Washington Gas, a natural gas utility, began renovating its 500,000-sf Springfield Operations Center in October 2002. The project, designed by architectural firm McKissack & McKissack of Washington, D.C., will be the first renovation performed on the 1971 light industrial building since its construction. The renovation is expected to reach completion in three to five years. Washington Gas is also seeking to relocate its headquarters to a new 80,000- to 90,000-sf site in the greater Washington area.
