Project Overview

Bell performed the mechanical and plumbing scope of work for the Virginia General Assembly’s new legislative building, home to lawmakers’ offices and the committee rooms. The 15-story building — 14 above grade and one below — is 414,000 SF and has a 12,000-person capacity.

The General Assembly Building is the first purpose-built home for the nation’s oldest continuously meeting legislative body. Constructed on the same footprint as the former building with the same name, demolition began in 2017 and was highlighted by preservation of the historic 1912 façade of the oldest of three buildings that were combined to form the previous General Assembly Building.
