The Korte Company will begin construction of a new seven-story, 200-guest room Navy Gateway Inns & Suites hotel at Naval Station Newport in Rhode Island. The 103,831-square-foot project also includes the construction of a parking area on the adjacent Lawrence Field, designed for 225 vehicles.
When completed in April of 2017, the facility will be the central lodging facility for Naval Station Newport, as well as the main check-in point for all base lodging.
Additionally, the building will accommodate the majority of administrative, staff training, maintenance and guest services functions, including an on-premise commercial laundry facility.
The facility will be designed to achieve LEED Silver certification per USGBC requirements.
