The project consists of a new three story building
for the General Services Administration (GSA) at the U.S. and Canadian
border. The total area of the building is 38,900 square feet, and will
house offices, conference rooms, firing range, detention spaces,
inspection garages, and warehouse. Other features include a pedestrian
bridge and a large canopy structure over the inspection booths and driving
lanes.
As part of security considerations, a structural
analysis was made to prevent progressive collapse due to explosions.
The architectural design was based on sustainable or
green architecture, and followed the guidelines for LEED certification.
