Fox Building &
DC Housing Authority

Fox Building Redevelopment

Arc Environmental was engaged by The Time Group at the outset of their redevelopment of the Fox Building, a 20th-century industrial landmark in Baltimore, Maryland. Originally the home of Noxzema and later Fox Industries, the building was transformed into a vibrant mixed-use community featuring apartments and artist workspaces. The project preserved many of the building’s historical features, including its original maple wood flooring, glass block windows, soaring 15-foot factory ceilings, and iconic mushroom-shaped concrete columns, meeting the requirements for both National and State Historic Tax Credits.

District of Columbia Housing Authority Lead-based Paint Services

Arc Environmental was retained by the Prime General Contractor to provide hazardous material surveys of 210 residential row houses and Phase II subsurface investigation of an approximately five square block project area in West Baltimore. The assessments were conducted to comply with Baltimore City, Maryland Department of the Environment, and EPA requirements for building razing and re-development of the Site which is the location for the Coppin State University Science and Technology Center. Due to a compressed construction schedule for the project, the period of performance for completing these investigations was three weeks. Arc Environmental managed a field crew of 12 building inspectors, a three-man drilling crew, and four environmental scientists to complete the Site investigations within the required time frame. Several mobilizations were required due to pending condemnation notices, property transactions, and approval for access by Baltimore City; the cost of the additional mobilizations was off-set by not sampling of structurally unsound buildings to minimize cost impacts to the GC.
