Prince George’s County Facilities Master Plan
Location: Prince George’s County, MD
Client: K. Dixon Architecture
Owner: Prince George’s County
Size: 2.2 million SF
Axias Role: Facility Condition Assessment
Axias is part of the K. Dixon Architecture PLLC team that was recently awarded a contract by Prince George’s County, Maryland, to provide planning for county facilities that will result in a 10-year master plan. The project, which addresses 20 buildings totaling 2.2 million square feet, will enable the county to make informed decisions and set priorities for the maintenance, improvement, adaptability, and sustainability of its numerous property assets.
Among the facilities in the county’s substantial portfolio to be assessed are office, public works and warehouse buildings; fire and police stations; the County Correctional Center; and at 900,000 square feet, the largest county courthouse in the United States.
Axias is providing facility condition assessment (FCA) services on the project. Led by Thomas Hall, MRICS, we are conducting a full FCA on two buildings—Inglewood Business Center and Cranford-Graves Fire Services Building. A full FCA covers identification of deficiencies in all major building elements and systems, including site, building envelope, structural elements, MEP, fire safety, elevators, interior common elements, and ADA compliance.
Our next task is a partial scope assessment of two additional buildings, Largo Government Center and an administrative services/warehouse building in Landover. K. Dixon will then proceed with the remainder of the full FCAs, with Axias providing technical QA/QC of those reports.
