MEP/FP engineering for this facility fit-out supports consolidation of battalion operations into a single County-owned space tailored to tenant needs. The design includes replacement rooftop units, a new high-efficiency HVAC system, an energy-efficient garage exhaust system with gas monitoring, LED lighting, and connections to the existing fire alarm system.

Project Goals

Loudoun County consolidated battalion stations that were housed in multiple rented spaces into a single facility owned by the County. The County fitted out shell space to meet the specific needs of the battalion tenants. This new facility places battalion staff closer to relevant County services such as the training center in the adjacent building.
