    This is a LEED Gold certified, 120,000 sf office building, which is the first phase of a two-phased project that serves as the combined headquarters for the Massachusetts Army and Air National Guard. The two-winged structure is connected by a multi-story lobby, and the interior is designed to be highly flexible in order to accommodate the changing mission and needs of the National Guard divisions.

Energy requirement is reduced by 19% and water usage by 50%.
