Washington
Political media company Congressional Quarterly (CQ) has awarded Chantilly-based R.W. Murray Co. the $1.8-million contract to build its new 42,000-sf headquarters. Located less than two blocks from CQ's existing Washington facility, the new building will house three floors of offices, a data center, and several meeting spaces. Hickok Warner Fox Architects was hired to complete the design of the project, which will allow room for expansion. CQ Press, the company's 100-employee book division, has already moved into the new facility. Full occupancy will occur in June of 2003. Congressional Quarterly is a private, for-profit organization that publishes CQ Weekly, CQ Daily Monitor, and CQ Homeland Defense.
