Edwards Aquifer Authority | Headquarters Building
Broaddus & Associates served as project manager for the Edwards Aquifer Authority’s headquarters expansion and renovation in San Antonio, TX. The design-build project expanded the headquarters to approximately 45,000 SF through a two-story addition and renovation of the existing facility. The new structure complements the surrounding neighborhood, incorporates a limestone façade inspired by the Edwards Aquifer, and improves operational efficiency through a direct connection to the existing building. Broaddus & Associates coordinated permitting, rezoning, re-platting, design-build team selection, design development, GMP negotiations, and project estimates.
Through extensive value engineering, Broaddus & Associates identified opportunities that generated $335,000 in savings, including a slab-on-grade foundation, rainwater harvesting, specialized audiovisual consulting, and the design-build delivery method, which reduced the schedule by four to six months. The firm also managed FF&E and a phased relocation of approximately 50 employees while maintaining budget and schedule control throughout the project.
