WASHINGTON, D.C. — Work is complete on the new 160,000-square-foot building for the U.S. General Services Administration in Washington D.C. The property, designed by Cooper Carry, will house the Armed Forces Retirement Home. The project included the demolition of the existing Scott Building and the construction of a new building, also named Scott. The new building features 36 skilled nursing rooms for long-term care and 24 rooms for memory support, arranged in five “small house” groupings. The property also includes a kitchen, health and wellness center and auditorium. The project is located off North Capital Street at the Historic Armed Forces Retirement Home Campus, which was established in 1851. Contractor Hensel Phelps provided design and construction services for the project.
