Work Culture People Contact News Webcasts Careers National Academy of Sciences Washington, DC Heritage Project The National Academy of Sciences connects the American public to the power of scientific research in addressing fundamental challenges. In restoring the space, our project team provided scholars and visitors with a state-of-the-art renewed headquarters and conference center while promoting the Academy’s commitment to innovation in science and technology. The team expertly crafted design solutions to address preservation and conservation of the historic fabric of the building that is rich in architectural details, ornamentation and art. The new building systems and infrastructure integrate sustainable technologies and innovations and feature renewable energy sources. The addition of skylight photovoltaic units and a rooftop solar water heating assembly help to reduce both energy use and maintenance costs.
