American Red Cross Capital Area HQ

A gift from the Saudi Royal Family, The American Red Cross Capital Area Headquarters is a 21,000 SF building housing an Administrative wing, four large meeting rooms, the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), a warehouse, and a kitchen.

Designed to withstand hurricane-force winds and other natural disasters, the building also doubles as a shelter for displaced residents. Structural and environmental systems were carefully developed to support the facility's various uses under multiple catastrophic conditions.
