›› The Retrofit The 98,500-square-foot George Howard Building first opened to the public in 1978 and is home to the administrative offices for the Howard County, Md., government executive branch. The build- ing also houses offices focusing on everything from general public information to tourism. After 32 years, the building was in dire need of modernization, which led to a $23.5 million renovation. In addition to reconfiguring the building to make it easier for visitors and employees to navigate, sustainability was a core goal of the project. Nearly every piece of the four-level building was re- moved and replaced with a new energy-efficient alternative. Notable sustainability initiatives include a redesigned metal exterior, an underground rain cistern, solar panels on the roof and solar-powered street lights, a parking lot with reserved spaces for hybrid or electric vehicles, motion sensors to con- trol indoor lighting and new light fixtures that are expected to save about 20 percent on energy.

The building was originally constructed in the early 1970s and featured a rough-finished stucco. “The biggest challenge was with the existing building being out of square and out of plumb. The conditions were definitely not good,” explains Dale Gronewold, owner of Emerald Metal Products. Gronewold’s team built a 16-gauge framing structure in 40-foot sections on the roof and lowered it to the ground. Then, the metal panels were attached to it.
