Cannon Renewal Project
The Cannon House Office Building, constructed in 1908, is the oldest of the House office buildings. Prior to this renewal, the Cannon Building had not received a complete building system upgrade since the 1930s and many of its original systems remained. The need for a comprehensive utility infrastructure upgrade, combined with the deterioration of the building’s exterior stone façade, necessitated a complete building renewal.
The Cannon Renewal Project is the largest capital project undertaken by the AOC. Work on the multiphase renewal began in 2015 with a 10-year projected target date for completion. The project is divided into five distinct work phases, with each two-year phase aligned to fall between congressional move cycles. The AOC completed Phase 0 in FY 2017.
During FY 2019, the AOC opened Phase 1 of the project. This was the largest phase based on square footage and its work included: repairing
10 Section I • Management’s Discussion and Analysis
and painting the Cannon Rotunda’s historic plaster dome, renovating 31 member suites in time for the 116th congressional transition and office moves, and completing work on two committee hearing rooms, a food servery and two building entrances.
The AOC also began Phase 2 of the project which involved the closure of the northern Independence Avenue wing. This phase impacts 29 member suites, one hearing room and one building entrance. By the fiscal year-end, demolition and abatement of the member suites, the basement and the fifth-floor interior space were underway. Work on the exterior façade restoration will continue throughout FY 2020, including 34 historic Doric columns.
When fully complete, the Cannon Renewal Project will provide modern amenities and an effective workplace to support congressional operations and preserve the building into the next century.
