Global Operations Center Renovation

Phase I included upgrades to existing finishes, electrical systems and fire suppression systems, while maintaining full operational capabilities.

Due to satisfaction with the initial contract, USSTRATCOM initiated a significant change to the scope of work and awarded Phase II. The follow-on work, in addition to two other owner-initiated scope changes, was valued at nearly $4 million.
