Architect of the Capitol

2013 Presidential Inaugural Stands

This project included construction of the raised wood platforms for the President and Vice President, military band, VIP Guests, Senators, and members of the House of Representatives. It included special exiting, security enhancements and TV tower and media stand construction. The entire system was constructed in three months and then removed in three weeks after the swearing-in.

Christman served as the general contractor for this project and the team was able to use their expertise from completing the 2009 Presidential Inaugural Stands to work efficiently. The key challenge with the project was the high level of security. Secure site procedures were in place that included badging and vehicle screening. It is estimated that one million people attended the ceremonies.
