Overview
Located on the Social Security Administration Woodlawn Campus, the Arthur J. Altmeyer Building serves as the primary offices for Senior Social Security Administration personnel. The building was originally constructed in 1959 and includes 10 occupied stories with mechanical systems for much of the campus housed in the basement and a two-story penthouse on the roof. With many of the original systems and office design still in place, the GSA recognized the opportunity to update the building into a state-of-the art and high performance modern office to serve the Social Security Administration for generations to come. The modernization and renovation included a complete re-cladding, all-new mechanical systems, and new stairs and elevator cores.
The project is targeted for a LEED Silver certification as a result of the innovative façade design by Studio NYL, SKA, and HGA, that increases the building’s energy capabilities to meet modern code energy standards.
