Scope of Work
The WBG Office Headquarters in Washington, DC will undertake several projects to upgrade its facilities. This will include but not limited to the following projects:
1. I Building Kitchen Renovation:

2. I Building Childcare Center Expansion:
Utilizing space relinquished from the former I cafeteria servery area, the scope includes increased circulation paths and child drop-off space, as well as increasing the number of classrooms on the ground floor of the I Building Childcare center.
3. I Building 11th Floor Renovation - Space pilot for ITS:
Full floor renovation for ITS on I11. Senior Management endorsed an updated real estate strategy that would provide over time a new office environment designed to promote more collaboration, support flexible work arrangements and generate additional cost savings. GCSCR recently piloted a new office space concept on the 2nd floor of the J Building and the 3rd floor of I Building. This design ensures adequate measures to address the post-COVID environment.
4. J Building floor Renovation– J2 Space pilot Ph2:
The scope of work for J2 space pilot did not include the entire floor plate so the immediate plan is to complete the other side of J2 (approximately 10,000 SF) using the new space standard. This work will start in Qtr3 FY22.
5. MC Exterior Door Replacement:
The Main Campus (MC) Building requires all exterior doors to be upgraded or replaced to meet security and operational requirements
