The Cybrary Headquarters project wins an ABC Metro Washington Excellence in Construction Award

CK Commercial received an ABC Metro Washington Excellence in Construction Award in the Interiors category for the Cybrary Headquarters Project.  The ABC Excellence in Construction Awards recognizes and celebrates outstanding projects for their quality and workmanship. The success of this project was attributable to the collaborative approach of the entire team, including  Cybrary, COPT and Arris Design. 

This 24,480 SF office space almost tripled the size of Cybrary’s previous office space. This tenant fit-out project features reclaimed wood walls with top-of-the-line finishes and inspiring color schemes throughout the space. The renovation included two podcast studios and a feature break area with unique lighting details and banquette seating.  Open seating areas, private offices, conference rooms and huddle/phone rooms make up the rest of the full floor fit-out space. 

The project overcame several challenges, including being completed during the pandemic. Another challenge was completing the tenant fit-out space while the base building was still under construction with another general contractor, which required careful coordination and communication. Additionally, the project team had to demobilize during the project due to the base building not receiving permanent power because of continuous delays from PEPCO. This delayed the installation of ceiling tiles, wood, millwork and other finishes, which required the appropriate temperature control to be properly installed and maintained. The project was completed on an accelerated timeline, and the project team worked to resequence those items to ensure the project maintained its schedule.

Congratulations to the CK team and our partners on this exciting award!
