The design was to upgrade and renovate housing facilities at the Lakeside facility in Pascagoula, MS. This facility consists of housing and support facilities for service members to reside while ships are being outfitted at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula. The Lakeside building is a two-story structure totaling an approximately 200,000 SF on a 37 acre site and was constructed as a design-build project. The design included spaces for residence, exercise, food service, administration, and utility. The scope of work included a fully sprinkled building with a brick masonry exterior and a new asphaltic roof. Utilities included: domestic and fire water services, sanitary sewer connection, electrical and gas service, fire alarm/Mass Notification systems, storm drainage and water quality design. Other features included: DoD Antiterrorism Standards, comprehensive interior design, landscaping, commissioning, and LEED Silver Certification. The building design included precautions for flooding, as Hurricane Katrina flooded the first floor of the facility in 2005.

$32M – Tuskegee, AL
Services: Leed Consulting
Moton Field was the only primary flight training facility for African-American pilot candidates in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. The National Park Service plans to commemorate the contribution of the Tuskegee Airmen to the war effort and to the subsequent Civil Rights movement through the creation and development of the Tuskegee Airmen National Historical Site. GSE was responsible for the LEED consulting for this project. The project consisted of the rehabilitation of Moton Field in Tuskegee, AL, and included the Tuskegee Airmen Museum, National Historic Site, and Visitor's Center. All buildings on the site were re-constructed, where possible. A Visitor's Center was added on the site, as well. All existing and new buildings were required to comply with the LEED Certified level as defined by the USGBC. GSE coordinated with the architect, landscape architect, and all engineering disciplines to ensure that LEED requirements were met in the contract documents. The design team was awarded the 2006 John Wesley Powell Prize for Historic Preservation for its work on this project.

Multiple
projects have been executed for ASA by GSE. Some examples include:
1.
GSE
provided full fire alarm design for the supercomputer room. Additionally,
GSE provided a study to replace the existing Halon system with a more
eco-friendly agent. GSE prepared all necessary bid documents, solicited
proposals from contractors, and provided bid assistance during the
process. Also, we were tasked with construction management and start-up
of the system.
2.
GSE
provided engineering and project management for a HVAC upgrade and replacement
in the supercomputing room. Mechanical and Electrical engineering
services were required for the installation of precision HVAC units to maintain
space requirements.
3.
GSE
provided engineering and project management for a fire alarm replacement for
the facility. The Owner required specific functions from the fire alarm
system, such as internet capability, and this was incorporated into the design.
