SEATTLE, Oct. 21, 2024 - Today, Millig Design Build, an integrated engineering and construction firm, announced that it has been selected by the State of Washington as the prime contractor and lead engineer to develop the comprehensive Decarbonization Master Plan for the Washington State Capitol Campus in Olympia.
Washington is leading the nation in state-led initiatives to accelerate decarbonization and the transition to a sustainable energy-based economy. To this end, Washington's Department of Enterprise Services (DES) conducted a world-wide search for an engineering partner to lead the State through this transition at its flagship Capitol Campus.
DES selected Millig Design Build because of its unique approach to campus decarbonization planning which includes creating a full digital clone of the campus. This virtual simulation enables Millig's team to perform detailed analysis of individual buildings, as well as district energy balancing across 20 buildings and 3 million square feet for central system optimization. This approach will support a phased approach, leading to the best solutions today and allowing for the dynamic analysis of future phases of work over time.
"Millig Design Build was founded to do this work," said Millig Vice-President Lauren Donley. "We have a crystal-clear vision of how to develop a cost-effective, practical plan for DES. Our team has been honing our approach through the development of decarbonization master plans at 12 million square feet of complex campus environments, including hospitals, industrial pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, and universities. We are excited for the opportunity to guide the State of Washington through this process."
The Capitol Campus Decarbonization Plan is slated to be completed in the summer of 2025.
