Plumbers and Gasfitters UA Local 5 Training Facility

Lanham, MD

Buch completed construction of a new 52,000 SF training facility for the Plumbers and Gasfitters UA Local 5 Union, where year-round classes are held to train tradesmen on the most cutting-edge green technologies. The building qualified for LEED Silver certification.

This one-story precast building includes several mezzanines, conference rooms, training rooms, offices and labs for back-flow preventer training, gas appliance labs, and plumbing fixture labs. This facility features a state-of-the-art rainwater harvesting system, solar collectors, and a VRF system. It also includes an 8,000 SF shop for welding and room for future expansion.

“Safety is our highest priority—and at the core of everything we do.”
