Project Spotlight: Department of General Services, WV Building 36

For this month’s spotlight, we are highlighting our work with the West Virginia General Services Division. WDP performed façade replacement and restoration services for Building 36 at One Davis Square in Charleston. Our investigation identified multiple enclosure performance issues, including unsecured curtain wall anchors, glazing failures, water and air infiltration, and debonding of granite tile cladding components.

WDP provided design through construction services for a complete façade replacement that required removal and reconstruction of the exterior walls and metal framings. The new drainable EIFS and curtain wall systems improved thermal performance while addressing water infiltration and air leakage. We coordinated detailed phasing and temporary interior barriers so the work could proceed while the building remained fully occupied, minimizing disruptions to offices and workspaces.
