ST. PAUL, MINN. — Ryan Cos. US Inc. has completed $71 million in renovations and alterations for the Warren E. Burger Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse located at 316 North Robert St. in downtown St. Paul. In 2004, the U.S. General Services Administration selected Ryan Cos. to serve as contractor/construction manager of the 160,000-square-foot renovation project, which was expanded to include the entire 400,000-square-foot building. The project included demolition, hazardous waste removal, new plumbing, fire protection, the implementation of mechanical and electrical systems for the new and renovated components, expanded building security systems, as well as accessibility changes to make the property compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Additionally, the project achieved LEED-Silver certification. Upon completion of the 36-month project, 400,000 square feet of high-end courtrooms, judges’ chambers, detention facilities and office space were constructed. The Chicago and St. Paul-based Government Services Administration, Region 5, acted as building owner and property manager; Chicago-based Teng & Associates provided architectural services for the project. As the construction manager, the Minneapolis and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, offices of Ryan Cos. were in charge of all estimating (with the assistance of Cost Planning Management International of Minneapolis), scheduling, contract management, construction management, LEED consultation (with the assistance of HGA and EcoDEEP Inc. of St. Paul), and building commissioning (with the assistance of Dunham & Associates and Burn & McDonnell of Minneapolis).
