QUAD DINING FACILITY AND TRAINING DORMITORY/BARRACKS RENOVATIONS AND DESIGN

Woolpert, working with Balfour Beatty Construction and KZF, provided a full range of architecture, engineering and surveying services for multiple renovation and construction projects at Fort Jackson.

For Starship Barrack 11000, the initial training dormitory/barracks, Woolpert led efforts for the following project components:

• Conversion of existing first-floor dining facilities to additional training classrooms
• Renovation of existing classrooms
• Expansion and renovation of existing administration areas
• Design and construction of a running track and fixed exercise area on an adjacent site

For the Starship quad dining facility and training dormitory/barracks, Woolpert designed plans for the following projects:

• Construction of two, 2,600-soldier dining facilities encompassing 124,780 square feet
• Renovation and expansion of three starship barracks buildings into 250,000 square feet of classroom and battalion support space
• Installation of a new 115-8 kV electrical substation

Woolpert’s designs qualified the facilities to earn LEED™ Silver certification under the U.S. Green Building Council standards. Woolpert used building information modeling (BIM), building energy modeling and life cycle cost analysis to drive cost-effective, constructible and efficient design decisions.
