State Board of Elections Office – Marion Barry Building, Washington, DC

Marion Barry Building | Judiciary Square | Washington, DC
Completed by WoodWater Bolt in partnership with Potomac Supply Company

In partnership with Potomac Supply Company, WoodWater Bolt supported the completion of the newly renovated State Board of Elections office in the Marion Barry Building in Judiciary Square, Washington, DC, through the assembly and installation of office furnishings across multiple workspace types.

The project called for more than simply putting pieces together. It required a clean, organized, professional installation that matched the quality and intent of a public-sector office environment. Every component needed to be assembled accurately, placed with precision, and presented in a way that made the space feel immediately functional, cohesive, and ready for occupancy.

The completed office reflects a modern workplace standard: streamlined executive spaces, organized individual workstations, collaborative seating areas, reception furnishings, and support furniture that together create a polished and highly usable environment.

Project Overview

This installation was part of the fit-out of a newly renovated government office space. WoodWater Bolt’s role focused on the furniture assembly and final presentation of key interior areas, ensuring that the physical workspace matched the professionalism of the institution it serves.

Installed elements included:
• Executive office furniture, including desk, storage, and guest seating
• Multi-person workstation assemblies
• Meeting and collaboration furniture
• Reception area furnishings
• Ancillary office pieces and seating throughout the space

From private offices to shared work zones, each area had to be assembled cleanly and consistently so that the finished environment felt intentional, uniform, and operational from day one.

The Objective

The goal was to help deliver a workplace that felt finished, functional, and professional without distraction. In a government setting, furniture installation is not a minor final step. It is part of how the space is experienced. Alignment, spacing, layout, stability, and presentation all contribute to whether the office feels truly complete.

This project required attention to both form and function:
• Clean assembly with no visual clutter
• Consistent layout across multiple furniture types
• Proper positioning for circulation and usability
• A finished appearance suitable for a public-facing institutional environment
• Coordination that supported efficient project completion

Scope of Work

WoodWater Bolt provided furniture assembly and installation services across the office, helping bring the renovated space into working order. The scope included assembling and positioning a range of pieces such as executive desks, shared workstations, chairs, meeting furniture, storage units, and reception furnishings.

Special attention was given to maintaining a crisp, orderly final presentation. That meant clean lines, balanced spacing, properly oriented furnishings, and a layout that supported both everyday staff use and the professional image of the office.

Execution

The finished installation demonstrates a disciplined approach to detail. The executive office was assembled to create a composed, professional setting with warm wood tones, integrated storage, guest seating, and a balanced arrangement that feels both efficient and welcoming. Shared workstation areas were installed with consistency and alignment, helping the open office read as organized and deliberate rather than temporary or pieced together.

Collaborative and support spaces were equally important. Round-table seating created a clear zone for small meetings and discussion, while reception and side-office furnishings helped establish function at every point of interaction within the suite.

Across the project, the emphasis was on readiness: making sure the installed environment looked complete, worked properly, and reflected the standard expected inside a major DC government building.

Result

The result is a clean, modern, move-in-ready office environment that supports daily operations while presenting a polished image to staff and visitors alike. The furniture installation complements the renovation by adding structure, usability, and visual cohesion to the space.

For WoodWater Bolt, this project is a strong example of the firm’s ability to contribute to professional interior environments where precision, presentation, and reliability matter. It also reflects the value of strong project partnerships, with WoodWater Bolt and Potomac Supply Company working together to help deliver a finished space that meets the expectations of a prominent public institution.
