Description

EPA recently completed its 42,750-GSF Research Support Annex (Annex 2) for the Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center (AWBERC) located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The north wing of Annex 2 was completed and occupied in September 2007, and the west wing was completed and occupied in January 2008. Half of Annex 2 is being used as permanent office space for various agencies, and the other half is serving as temporary “swing space” during a major Infrastructure Replacement Project (IRP) at AWBERC. The IRP is a multi-year, multi-phase, multi-million-dollar project that will replace all of the air handlers, vertical and horizontal supply ductwork, control systems, exhaust systems, and associated equipment at AWBERC. Eventually, Annex 2 will house 70 EPA employees permanently and will free up office space in AWBERC that can be converted to accommodate new laboratories.

Unique Environmental Features

Annex 2 received the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®)Exit EPA Disclaimer Gold-level certification for new construction in December 2008. The LEED rating system is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high-performance green buildings, which promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability.
