Project Details

  • Programmed funding: $19,145,912
  • Appropriated funding: $10,538,672
  • Project type: Rehabilitation/replacement

Description and Scope

This project provides for the replacement of building systems at the Virginia Aquarium to ensure they meet the American Museum Standards. 

This will involve all building systems such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning, electrical, plumbing, and roofing. Most of the building system items in this project are on a projected life cycle (e.g. emergency generators, chillers and air handlers, fire alarm systems, water heaters, roofs).

Therefore, the programmed replacement provides for the replacement of all of the operating systems at the Aquarium based on a recommended schedule.

Purpose and Need

This project establishes an on-going program of rehabilitation and replacement for interior and exterior building systems for this heavily used facility. 

It is required to maintain the safety, security, reliability, energy efficiency, and appearance of the Aquarium's structures and operating systems.
