Millig Design Build Selected for Capitol Campus Sustainability
Millig Design Build, an engineering and construction firm, has recently been chosen as the prime contractor for a major Decarbonization Master Plan at the Washington State Capitol Campus. This initiative stands as a significant step toward sustainability and energy efficiency.
Leading the Charge in Decarbonization
Washington is stepping up as a leader in state-level decarbonization efforts, promoting a shift towards a sustainable energy economy. In light of this, the Department of Enterprise Services (DES) undertook a global search for the right engineering firm to partner with for this transformative project.
After a thorough selection process, Millig Design Build stood out due to its innovative methodologies in campus decarbonization planning. Their notable strategy involves the creation of a full digital replica of the Capitol Campus, allowing for in-depth analyses of not just individual buildings but also energy distribution across the entire complex.
Advanced Planning Through Digital Simulation
This virtual clone of the campus, akin to a video game simulation but far more sophisticated, enhances Millig's ability to optimize systems for the 20 buildings and 3 million square feet of facility space involved in this project. Such comprehensive analysis provides a solid foundation for phased approaches, ensuring immediate and long-term solutions can adapt to future needs.
Millig's Vision for the Future
Millig's Vice-President, Lauren Donley, emphasized the company's commitment to creating impactful decarbonization strategies. "Our focus is to establish a cost-effective, practical plan that aligns with DES's sustainability goals. We have successfully developed decarbonization master plans for extensive environments, including hospitals and universities, paving the way for our exceptional approach in this endeavor."
Timeline for Implementation
The Capitol Campus Decarbonization Plan is projected for completion by the summer of 2025. Millig Design Build’s team is eager to collaborate closely with DES, anticipating that their combined expertise will lead to effective, forward-thinking sustainable practices.
