Turner Construction Co. has been selected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide design/build services for a $93 million, 311,000-square-foot office complex. The project, dubbed Building 24 is adjacent to the CDC's headquarters in Atlanta. Building 24 is targeted to achieve a LEED Gold Certification from the United States Green Building Council.

BOMA Chicago Initiates Country's First Office Building Smart Grid Program
The Building Owners and Managers Association of Chicago has launched an effort to develop the country's first commercial office building smart grid program, delivering a utility-scale, clean, virtual generator through implementation of smart grid technology in more than 260 commercial buildings in downtown Chicago. With the potential to provide as much as 200 megawatts of demand response capability, the program would lower costs and avoid the need to construct expensive new generation plants. It requires upgrading the buildings' electric metering infrastructure, with significant building-level upgrades. To help address the estimated $185.4 million program cost, the city's BOMA chapter filed an application for $92.7 million in matching funds from the U.S. Department of Energy's Smart Grid Investment Grant Program, which was formed under the recently passed American Reinvestment and Recovery Act.
