Legislative Modular Building

The Irving R. Newhouse Building will be replaced as part of Legislative Campus Modernization. A modular building has been placed in the southeast corner of the Mansion Parking Lot to house Senators and Senate staff during construction of the replacement Newhouse Building. This is an important first step of the Legislative Campus Modernization (LCM) Project and is expected to remain on the Capitol Campus for 6-8 years.

Site preparation work on the Legislative Modular Building began in May 2022 and the building was completed in Jan. 2023.

More information

 

Demolition of the current Newhouse building is expected to occur in early 2023 with construction expected to begin in the late spring/early summer of 2023. Once Newhouse is complete, the modular building will house occupants of the Pritchard and O’Brien buildings during the renovation of those structures. The modular building is expected to remain on the Capitol Campus for six to eight years. When the Modular building has fulfilled its function as a temporary office building, it will be disassembled, and the parking lot will be restored.
