DORMITORY COMPLEX
POPE AIR FORCE BASE, NORTH CAROLINA
Winner of the 1999 Air Mobility Command Design
Award
"[The project]
exemplifies our continuing focus on quality facilities and work environment for
our people."
General L. Dean Fox, United States Air
Force, Director of Civil Engineering at Headquarters of AMC,
Scott Air Force Base, Illinois.
This $10 million
project involved a site adaptation of a COE-Savannah design of a modular
dormitory with some modifications. A new Common Building was also
designed. Our portion included extensive civil design work including grading,
storm drainage, utilities, erosion and sediment control and pavement.
Structural responsibilities included the design of the Dormitory foundation as
well as the complete structural design of the new Common Building.
The Dormitory
Complex consists of two, three-story Dormitory buildings configured around
an elegant open-ended courtyard closed at the south end by the Common
Building. Demolition of an existing pool house and parking lot was
required. The total scope with all options will house 168 residents. Each
dormitory building is 2,393 square meters with all options included. Two
dormitories are connected by elevated pedestrian bridges intersecting 90
degrees at a tower. The tower, along with 42 linear meters of colonnades, will
serve as the focal point of the Complex. Each enlisted military personnel will
have his or her own private room with all the modern conveniences.
The Common
Building is a separate one-story structure linked to the dormitories by
covered walks at each end. It contains the recreation and support facilities
for the dormitory residents including self-service laundry mat,
lounge/recreation spaces, vending, mailboxes, dorm managers office and bulk
storage cages. The Common Building, including its covered patio,
connecting covered walkways, and covered front entrance, encompasses 688 square
meters.
The project was
designed utilizing MicroStation software in metric units (SI).
