Location Generalized

A three-story, multi-tenant secure office building, rebuilt from the inside out.

JS Global was prime contractor for the secure construction and renovation of an 80,000 SF Class A office building that houses multiple government agencies and their support contractors. All three floors were built to ICD 705 standards and divided into suites for different uses and security protocols.

Secure ConstructionPrime Contractor
Project Overview

One building, many tenants, and a different security protocol for each suite.

The building had to work for several agencies at once, and each suite carried its own requirements.

JS Global delivered the work in two phases. The first phase stripped three stories down and replaced the building’s rooftop systems. The second phase built the secure partitions and finishes that turned the shell into suites for different users.

The Challenge

Rebuild an entire office building to a secure standard without losing the finish quality tenants expect.

01

Demolish walls, ceilings, flooring, and building systems across three full floors.

02

Replace large rooftop equipment and roofing, and support the new loads with new structure.

03

Build secure partitions that meet sound and RF requirements while keeping Class A finishes.

04

Serve several agencies in one building, each with its own use and security protocol.

The Approach

Strip it, reinforce it, then build the secure suites.

  1. 01

    Demolish

    The first phase removed interior walls, ceilings, flooring, and the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems across all three stories.

  2. 02

    Reroof

    JS Global installed new membrane roofing, along with structural steel and concrete curbs to carry the new air handling units.

  3. 03

    Replace

    Three large rooftop air handling units and rooftop server room dry coolers were replaced, including a dry cooler serving a secure equipment room.

  4. 04

    Reinforce

    The team designed, fabricated, and installed new structural steel supports with spray-on fireproofing.

  5. 05

    Build Secure

    In the second phase, crews built SCIF sound group 3 and 4 partitions using heavy-gauge steel studs, expanded metal, sound insulation, and RF foil.

The Result

A secure, multi-agency building with Class A finishes on every floor.

01

All three floors were completed to ICD 705 construction standards.

02

The building was divided into multiple suites to accommodate different uses and security protocols.

03

New roofing and rooftop air handling replaced the building’s original systems.

04

High-end finishes and furnishings were installed throughout.

What Made It Work

One prime contractor held the phases together.

The structure, roof, mechanical systems, and secure partitions all depended on one another.

Because JS Global led the whole building as prime general contractor, the rooftop work, structural supports, and secure build-out were planned as one sequence instead of separate packages.

Project Questions

Building secure suites in a multi-tenant office.

Practical answers about phasing, standards, and tenants.

01What does ICD 705 mean for construction?
ICD 705 is the federal technical specification for building secure spaces such as SCIFs. It governs details like partition construction, sound and RF protection, and how the secure boundary is penetrated.
02Why was the work done in two phases?
The first phase demolished the interior and replaced the roof and rooftop systems. The second phase built the secure partitions and finishes once the building was ready to receive them.
03Can one building serve several agencies?
Yes. This building was divided into multiple suites to accommodate different uses and security protocols for its government tenants and their support contractors.
Plan the Phases First

Building secure space for more than one tenant?

Share the building, the tenants, the security standards, and the schedule. JS Global will help plan the demolition, base-building systems, and secure build-out as one sequence.
