GSA celebrates House committee approval of headquarters renovation
June 8 (UPI) -- The U.S. General Services Administration said Monday that the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee's full financial support will be a boon for its headquarters renovation plan.
The House committee approved the plan on Thursday, clearing the way for the General Services Administration to renovate its headquarters after its current building was deemed "uninhabitable."
"This will pave the way for a high-quality and dynamic federal campus, setting a new high watermark for building design," Edward C. Frost, GSA administrator, said in a statement. "Once completed, 1800 F will inspire excellence, connect people, and elevate the way GSA delivers for the American taxpayer."
GSA employees have been working from the Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building which also houses employees from the Office of Personnel Management.
The renovation of the GSA headquarters is set to be completed in December 2028. GSA and OPM employees will move into the building once it is completed.
GSA's original estimate for the project was a $239 million cost and a completion date in 2031.
GSA's old building was inspected in 2021 over problems with indoor air quality. In 2022, it was found that its child care center was not provided with adequate fresh air when outside temperatures fell below 40 degrees. Forty percent of the building was found to be uninhabitable.
