Building A50 is an integral component to the ongoing research conducted at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC. It is a 30,000 square foot, one story building with an attic that houses many labs, various offices, and a lead shielded vault (SCIF). The tenants were utilizing this building as an administrative/office area and a research laboratory. In the fall of 2008, the heat fusing of plastic sheets that cover the roof insulation caused the plastic to smolder and eventually catch fire in the east side of Building A50. CVA prepared a detailed report outlining the extent of damage in categories of architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, structural, and hazmat materials. Furthermore, a recommendation and cost estimate has been prepared for each trade for the work required to restore the building to the pre-fire condition. Each section was formatted in such a manner to provide the most clear and precise information to present the damage findings in each category.
