Next reimagine summit November 9th and 10th, 2010

Coming from New York's Dattner Architects..our next speaker brings the Rodino Federal Building's reimagine project to Edmonton and Calgary.

John Woelfling AIA holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

John was Project Manager for the Peter W. Rodino Federal Office Building Modernization in Newark, NJ.

The 16-story office building was constructed in 1968 to house several federal agencies. The modernization will transform this important
feature of downtown Newark into a dignified, inviting, and efficient Federal facility. The existing loggia will be enclosed to provide  a new entrance
with state-of-the-art security and create a new public identity for the building. Obsolete space layouts, finishes and building systems will be
brought up to the current GSA standards. A failing precast concrete exterior will be repaired and overclad with a new blast resistant glass
curtain wall, creating a double-skin facade. This project is being designed to achieve LEED Silver Certification. Dattner Architects’ bridging
documents for this design-build project was recently bid at 10% under the budget estimate.
