Extensive coordination was required, as the team managed subconsultants and private client vendors and contractors. The high-level security incorporated throughout office spaces necessitated additional attention as well.  Design ensured the space was fully equipped with hardwired intrusion detection systems, and closed-circuit television systems, security was of the utmost importance.

Construction was implemented in phases in order to ensure the Social Security Administration’s ability to maintain daily operation and service to the visiting public.
