ATSR will coordinate architectural work on the renovation of the Kennedy Center in Washington, according to the Post’s report on the appointment.
The report says ATSR is a Minnesota firm with about 50 employees, including eight architects, and that its portfolio includes projects far smaller than the Kennedy Center job, such as a 2016 high school renovation costing about $40 million.
The Post also reported that the appointment came after the project moved away from standard federal contracting policies and adopted new self-written policies. A Kennedy Center spokesperson said the institution procured the services in accordance with its contracting and procurement policy.
