Building W-5

Building W-5 consisted of the renovation the existing 24,624 SF, three-story facility and provided additions on the front and rear of the existing building adding 5,725 additional SF.

This facility is required for permanent office spaces for Carrier Strike Groups 2, 8, 10 & 12. Naval Station Norfolk (NSN) has the mission requirement to provide office space for the Carrier Strike Groups when they are homeported.

The interior of the existing building was totally demolished. The project provides a completely renovated space for public toilets, Admiral’s suite (consisting of three offices, a private toilet, and a conference room), vending space, and open office space on each floor. The existing exterior metal stairs and windows were removed and new AT/FP compliant windows were added.

The front addition provided an ADA compliant entry ramp, exterior entry stair, egress stair, entry vestibule, elevator, badge room, and storage on each floor. The rear addition provided an egress stair, galley, vending space, mechanical room, and electrical room, loading dock, and NIPR/SIPR and telephone room. A sprinkler and fire alarm system was added to include a mass notification system and a new water line. Exterior brick walls were repaired as needed.

Site work removed existing pavement and provided sod, new sidewalks, grass drainage swales, a dumpster enclosure, landscaping, bike racks, flag pole, and relocation of existing steam lines.

This project complied with AT/FP and LID criteria.
