PROJECTS

Wedges 2 through 5 -  Wedges 2 through 5 (all five floors) are currently being planned as a single acquisition, with phased construction. The approved acquisition strategy will utilize a design-build project delivery method with performance based criteria. The project also includes providing utilities for future occupation of the Pentagon's basement and mezzanine which will be sequenced with the work in the wedges above.

Due the presence of asbestos and other hazardous materials, even the well-appointed Bradley Corridor in Wedge 3
will have to be demolished during the course of renovation. 

The Pentagon Library and Conference Center (PLC2) - The Pentagon Library and Conference Center (PLC2) expands the Pentagon’s current capacity to hold large meetings and conferences. When it is completed, the PLC2 will feature a total of 14 conference rooms and a multi-purpose room with a stage and audio-visual support.

Information Management and Telecommunications - Separate but related to the Pentagon Renovation Program is a necessary modernization of the building's information management and telecommunications infrastructure and systems. Network Systems Management Center
The Network Systems Management Center monitors computer network traffic in the Pentagon.

Swing Space - To keep the Pentagon operational at all times during renovation, one fifth of the building's 25,000 occupants must be relocated to swing space, temporary office space in and around the Pentagon. The vacated "wedge" of the Pentagon is then sealed off for demolition and abatement. External swing space in Rosslyn and Crystal City.
Over 1 million square feet of external swing space was built-out in nearby Rosslyn and Crystal City. Over 45 floors of office space had to be connected to the Pentagon's voice and data communications systems.

Half of this area rests in Wedge 1 of the Pentagon and the other half of the area rests in Wedge 2 of the Pentagon. The Phoenix Project scope of work includes rebuilding the core and shell of Wedge 1 and only the Shell of Wedge 2.
