With our design-build partner W.M. Jordan Company, Wiley|Wilson performed full architectural/engineering design services for the construction of a new $27.5 million Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing (UEPH) facility. The building consists of two 63,700 SF, three-story barracks connected by a 2,100 SF, single-story structure housing command and recreation functions.

Living areas feature apartment-style two-person dwelling units with separate bedrooms, shared bathrooms and full kitchens. The barracks also contains boot wash areas, recyclables room, laundry rooms, lounge areas, and vending areas. The building is AT/FP compliant including anti-progressive collapse structural design. Site work included demolition, stormwater management/erosion control, sanitary sewer, water, natural gas, communications, power, parking for 294 vehicles and roadways.

The design meets USGBC requirements for LEED Gold certification and is currently being submitted for certification.  Sustainable features include:

• Over 40% water use reduction through the use of low-flow water closets and showerheads and proximity sensors on all faucets and water closets
• Energy performance of 31.5% ASHRAE 90.1 through the use of high-efficiency HVAC systems, air barrier sealing and performance, and reduced lighting power.
• Light pollution reduction and better lighting efficiency through the use of time clocks to control exterior lighting.
• Double glazed windows for better insulation
• Diversion of 95% of construction waste
• Doubling of open space requirement
