On April 10, 2013, the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University held its Topping Out Ceremony. The event celebrated the concrete frame reaching the roof level. The full scale of the building can now be seen and the presence of the project on Washington Circle can really be felt while exploring the atrium space. The event was attended by the Dean of the Milken Institute SPH, several faculty and administrators from the school, the contractor (Whiting-Turner) and the design team (PAYETTE, Ayers Saint Gross, AEI, and TCE). The Dean and her colleagues from the school expressed great enthusiasm for the project and are very much looking forward to moving in. Our team greatly enjoyed the day and the event. Though it isn’t obvious in the pictures, it was 90 degrees in DC that day!
At PAYETTE, we value the inseparable connection between architecture and landscape. Our “Embedded Nature” approach emphasizes the importance of incorporating nature into even the most complex urban environments, fostering well-being for mind, body and spirit.
