In September of 2024, Progress began abatement at the University of DC’s Building 41, which has not been actively used by UDC students in several years. The building will be demolished and replaced with a new, state-of-the-art structure that will house the DC Archives and the UDC archives, including the University’s Felix E. Grant Jazz Archives. Pre-demolition activities included the asbestos removal and remediation of hazardous materials throughout the 175,000 SF building.
