PROJECT OVERVIEW
As part of a designbuild team, EwingCole developed the renovation and modernization to the Paul Philippe Cret designed Scott Barracks.
Opened in 1938, Scott Barracks is currently home to 477 United States Military Academy cadets and had not seen a major renovation since 1988. This 147,755 sf modernization, completed in 2014, was designed in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act given that the campus is designated a National Historic Landmark District.
Renovation to Scott Barracks involved bringing the barracks up to current coders, the complete replacement and upgrade of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, telecommunications, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, fire detection and sprinkler, and insulation systems. Exterior upgrades include masonry repairs and a new roof which has been retrofit for air conditioning. The interior modernization includes the replacement of all floors, wall finishes, and windows, new furniture, and bathroom renovations to accommodate female cadets.
The new design is on track to obtain US Green Building Council LEED certification and is designed to achieve Net Zero in 2017.
