Scope Of Work
National Industries for the Blind (NIB), the largest employment resource for blind people in the United States, fights to enhance opportunities for personal and economic independence for the blind. To continue to meet the needs of their employees and customers, NIB sought a state-of-the-art headquarters that marked an investment in their future, and DAVIS was able to help them achieve their goal. The 110,000-SF building, completed in late 2018, exemplifies NIB’s mission by providing an environment with open interiors, flexible work spaces, and top-level technology.
This building was the very first project to begin work in The Exchange at Potomac Yard, the new anchor of commercial development in Alexandria, VA. Adjacent to the future Potomac Yard Metro Station and close to a block of new apartments and restaurants, NIB’s new headquarters is a central piece of a burgeoning neighborhood with accessibility to the visually impaired.
Our extraordinary project team was able to take on a challenging building process that included a large-scale excavation, implement creative design techniques, and give NIB a beautiful, comfortable home.
