WEDGE 2 - 5

Wedges 2-5 is a phased design/build renovation of 4 million square feet
of space in the Pentagon. The project brings all remaining un-renovated
areas of the building into compliance with modern building, life safety,
ADA and fire codes. Work includes removal of all hazardous materials,
replacement of all building systems, addition of new elevators and
escalators to improve vertical circulation, and installation of new
security and telecommunications systems.
Renovated spaces will be modern, efficient,
and flexible. The project, underway since
September 2001, is on an accelerated
schedule for completion in December
2010, four years sooner than
originally planned.
