| Building History |
|
The General Services Annex was constructed around the same time as the General Services Building in the 1950s. It served as overflow for its larger neighbor. Many folks don't realize there is a small space between them - they are distinct buildings.
Over the years, the General Services Annex has hosted many sections and programs from Department of Administrative Services, primarily from the Operations and Maintenance Section of the Facilities Division. It's also housed the Disabilities Commission and countless other state agencies.

Energy Conservation
The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) has designated its buildings as resource conservation zones. This means DAS works hard to save energy and water in its buildings, as well as ensure employees and tenants recycle to the best of their ability. The goal is to save taxpayer money and care for the environment to the greatest extent possible.
Energy Savings Report
 | DAS compares all bills to the calendar year 2000 as a baseline. The goal and OAR require a 20 percent reduction in electricity and natural gas usage by 2015. DAS does not adjust the buildings without baseline adjustments for weather or any other factors. The savings column represents the combined electric and gas savings in Btu’s compared to the year 2000 usage. The Energy Cost column includes the totals for electric and gas – not all utilities. |
