The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) is seeking the services of an Audio-Visual contractor (AVC) to provide products and services for our new immersive learning center in the Howard T. Markey National Courts Building. CAFC will unveil a new, state-of-the-art learning center in the heart of Washington, D.C. with a primary focus on providing a unique learning opportunity to students in the local community. Students will be able to tour the combined 2,400 square-feet of historic spaces and engage in interactive educational programming focused on the intersection between law and technology, which is one of CAFC’s many specialties. Dedicated in 1967 following First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy’s efforts to preserve the historic nature of Lafayette Square, the then-new National Courts Building at 717 Madison Place, built just one block away from the White House, incorporated three historic properties into its design: the Cutts-Madison House, the former Cosmos Club building, and the Benjamin Ogle Tayloe House. Significant events took place in these buildings such being the headquarters of the suffragists and NASA during the Mercury 7 press conference. The National Courts Building stands not just as a courthouse, but as a living testament to the interplay of law, science, and technology—a stage where the past converges with the present to shape an enlightened future.
