Projects

House Office Buildings Projects

Construction work continues in the Cannon Building's west wing.

Cannon Renewal

The Cannon House Office Building's renewal is an example of the Architect of the Capitol's commitment to preserving our nation's history.

A saw-cutting machine was used to remove slabs of concrete so that new concrete and steel reinforcement could replace it.

Rayburn Garage Interior Rehabilitation

The Rayburn Garage Interior Rehabilitation will replace structural concrete and waterproofing joints to extend the life of the garage for 50 years. The rehabilitation will also bring the garage levels up to code compliance for mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems.
