George Mason University Long and Kimmy Nguyen Engineering Building
The Long and Kimmy Nguyen Engineering Building is the new home of the Volgenau School of Information Technology and Engineering at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia and is the first university project to be delivered under the PPEA legislation in Virginia. Positioned on a prominent site at the entrance to the University's main campus, the engineering building contains 80,000 SF of academic space and 80,000 SF of research space. An additional 20,000 SF of private leased space is also included in order to create an environment for collaborative research between the University and the private sector. A rapidly growing university, George Mason leveraged the real estate experience of Edgemoor and the construction expertise of Clark Construction to expedite the turnkey delivery of the building by more than a year. Edgemoor managed the design and construction firms, HOK and Clark Construction respectively, to ensure that the ultimate building design was delivered within the University’s limited funding allocation. Additionally, Edgemoor provided other turnkey development services including testing, site coordination, inspections, utility coordination, move-in coordination, third party leasing, tenant fit-out and fundraising support
