MGAC had a strong presence at this year's Education Estates? Exhibition | Conference | Awards! Our National Institute of Manufacturing (NMIS) project at the University of Strathclyde won Project of the Year in the Universities category, and The Molecular Sciences Phase One Building at the University of Birmingham was shortlisted in the same category. Our talented teams in Glasgow and Birmingham were engaged to provide expert cost management and health + safety services. With each achieving BREEAM Outstanding and Excellent ratings respectively, it's clear that both projects had quality and sustainability at their cores.

On Friday, Engineering News-Record (ENR) announced the winners of their 2024 MidAtlantic Best Projects, and we're thrilled that our 20 Massachusetts Avenue NW project was recognized as the Best Project in the Office/Retail/Mixed-Use category. In just over two years, the 1970s-era, seven-story office building was completely reimagined into a 485,000 SF mixed-use destination. Featuring a 274 key luxury hotel and Class A office space, this project added 101,000 SF of new space and two stunning atria that flood the interior with natural light. Sustainability was key, with 75% of waste recycled, a green roof, and energy-efficient glazing. The DC’s first factory-built custom bathroom pods also streamlined construction.

We worked with our client to ensure the project was delivered successfully.

The Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB) hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony last Thursday to unveil a new modernized distribution facility in the Lorton area of Fairfax County.
