Turner Construction Company is pleased to announce that a
design-build team of Turner and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has
been selected to deliver the latest addition to the campus of the
United States Naval Academy: the Center for Cyber Security Studies.
The
$114 million Center is a 206,400-square-foot academic building,
dedicated to the education of midshipmen in all areas of cyber warfare,
and will include classrooms and lecture halls, teaching and research
laboratories, a research and testing tank to support the engineering and
weapons laboratories, an observatory, offices, and multi-purpose
collaborative space for students and faculty. Situated between Nimitz
Library and Rickover Hall, the Center will be surrounded by elevated
hardscape terraces continuous with those of the adjacent buildings.
“We
are honored to be selected by Naval Facilities Engineering Command
(NAVFAC) Washington, and we are excited to partner with them and SOM and
to share in the mission of the United States Naval Academy,” said Chris
Jahrling, vice president and general manager of Turner’s Federal
Services Group. He continued, “We look forward to bringing our
experience building premier educational and research facilities for the
government to this unique project.”
With design beginning
immediately, construction on the Center for Cyber Security Studies is
scheduled to begin in late 2016. Completion is anticipated in the third
quarter of 2019.
