About the project
The Alton Lennon Federal Building and Courthouse, listed on the National Register of Historic Places Landmarks, stands as a Federal building and courthouse in Wilmington, North Carolina. Designed by Architect James A. Wetmore and constructed between 1916 and 1919, it boasts an imposing three-story, light sandstone facade.
Severely affected by Hurricane Florence in September 2018, the building faced significant damage, particularly as the loss of power during the storm facilitated mold growth in the hot and humid climate. Our team was appointed to conduct an initial assessment for repairs, and subsequently, the client entrusted us with design review services for the building envelope throughout the design process—from concept to delivery. Leveraging our expertise from similar federal projects, we provided crucial input during the early stages of design.
