Date: August, 2016 Location: Washington, DC LEED: Gold DVC modernized Engine Co. 14 from its original structure, built in 1944. DVC worked with the Department of General Services (DGS) to construct a comprehensive interior upgrade and a replacement of the Apparatus Bay. The balance of modern design and historic elements set a benchmark for future engine house renovations. The historic nature of the engine house was preserved by maintaining the large apparatus bay and the iconic fire engine red vehicle doors. The facility was modernized with two additions, totaling 4,369 square feet. The expanded square footage allowed for separate men’s and women’s facilities, expanded kitchen and dining hall, new exercise room, and offices.

This project had approximately $1 million in emergency services for the Market, including stabilization of the building, making it weather-tight and installation of a temporary roof. DVC initiated investigative studies in an effort to salvage key architectural elements of the building. After extensive discussions with the city’s experts, the scope of work was increased to perform additional repair and renewal work. This scope included exterior restoration efforts, which required replication of unique iron trusses and structural supports; masonry restoration; custom fabrication of dozens of architectural elements; installation of the roof to old world standards with slate, then trimmed out with flat-seam copper turrets. Cornice work alone involved more than 1,000 individual pieces. The project was delivered on-time and within budget. The Market re-opened for business in late 2009.
