ISTUDIO’s new Emergency Operations Center in the nation’s capital hosted some notable figures last week – including President Joe Biden and Mayor Muriel Bowser. Our team designed this vital 44,000 sf facility in support of the DC Homeland Security mission to ensure the safety and wellness of Washington, D.C residents.

The new design focuses on advanced technology integration, sustainability, and flexibility to adapt to the ever-changing demands of emergency management. Our approach focused on wellness as a central design principle, ensuring that those working around the clock, 365 days a year, have dedicated spaces for rest, rejuvenation, and readiness to safeguard the safety and well-being of the nation's capital. This commitment guarantees that the Headquarters will not only meet but surpass the expectations of those dedicated to public service during critical times.
