Sustainable Design

Wiley|Wilson routinely includes sustainable concepts in all of our design projects.  As a member of the U.S. Green Building Council we will work with clients to include sustainability concepts through an integrated design approach and to design buildings capable of receiving a specific LEED U.S. Green Building Rating. Wiley|Wilson personnel have participated in U.S. Green Building Council training and personnel in all disciplines are accredited by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Wiley|Wilson currently has experience in LEED design of governmental, commercial, industrial, private sector, and residential facilities.

A few project examples are shared as follows:

	The Fort Lee Soldier Support Center was designed to comply with the requirements for LEED-NC Certified.  This 84,000 SF building will provide training facilities and administrative support for military personnel. Major spaces will include an auditorium, five large classrooms, and an administrative office space for over 220 personnel.  This is part of a $1.5 billion BRAC expansion.
	The Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT) enhancements project was designed to comply with the requirements for LEED-NC Silver.  The project constructed a new $14 million urban training area located at MCB Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Wiley|Wilson, acting as the  A-E on a MACC for Construction Projects in the North Carolina Area, served as the Design-Build Designer of Record and completed design services for the project.
	In Prince William County, Virginia, a Gypsy Moth and Mosquito Control Building design has LEED-NC Silver certification in progress.  Architectural and engineering services were provided for the design of this unique function building.
	Wiley|Wilson designed the $40 million academic addition to the Department of State George P. Shultz National Foreign Affairs Training Center. The new 14,000 SF Childcare Building is designed equivalent to LEED-NC Silver. Also designed is a classroom/office addition of 130,000 SF; 1,350 SF expansion of the visitor center; an expansion of the existing dining facility and study of the existing servery; and an addition of approximately 80 on-grade parking spaces. The Center is the Federal Government's primary training institution for personnel of the U.S. foreign affairs community.
	The privately-owned ACE Recycling renovation project in Chesterfield, Virginia was designed to achieve LEED-NC Gold.  The project involved renovating 60,000 SF of warehouse space and 9,000 SF of an adjoining office building.  Rainwater is being collected for landscape watering, native species were planted that have low water requirements, pervious concrete walkways were specified, and waste oil burning equipment is utilized to heat shop space.
	Another LEED-NC Silver project was designed for a new 48,000 SF research facility (Autonomous Systems Research Laboratory) at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC.   The two-story facility will house laboratories and offices.  Design included the demolition of four buildings to provide space for the new structure.  The building is precast concrete panels with a pile foundation and house offices, computer room, and high bay test and experiment labs. Labs will simulate real world environments to better test equipment under pseudo actual conditions.
	The project is a new $27.5 million Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing barracks facility located at Fort Eustis, Virginia. The project includes two 63,700 SF three-story barracks and a 2,100 SF connecting building. Wiley|Wilson, acting as the prime Architect/Engineer for the design-build team, provided complete design services as required by the Request for Proposal for construction and for submission by the design-build contractor team to the government. The completed facility must meet the requirements for LEED-NC Silver.
	The Research Development and Acquisition and Testing and Evaluation Consolidation Facility project in Dahlgren, Virginia for NAVFAC (Naval Facilities Engineering Command) was designed equivalent to LEED-NC Silver.  The new facility is multi-story and approximately 56,000 SF. Building systems and features include elevators, fire protection, HVAC with DDC controls, intrusion detection, public announcement system, computer rooms, sensitive content rooms, and laboratories.  Laboratories have raised floors, offices, and meeting rooms.  There is also a shielded anechoic room, with control room and turntable pit, used for testing equipment. Anti-terrorism and force protection analysis and fire protection flow tests were performed.  The firm also developed a Design Quality Assurance Plan tailored to this project.
	Smaller projects include designing and successfully constructing the first green construction Habitat for Humanity House in the Greater Lynchburg, Virginia area.
