A Design-Build team comprised of Turner Construction Company and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill has been selected to deliver the latest addition to the campus of the United States Naval Academy: the Center for Cyber Security Studies.
The $114-million center is a 206,400-square-foot academic building, dedicated to the education of midshipmen in all areas of cyber warfare, and will include classrooms and lecture halls, teaching and research laboratories, a research and testing tank to support the engineering and weapons laboratories, an observatory, offices and multi-purpose collaborative space for students and faculty. Situated between Nimitz Library and Rickover Hall, the center will be surrounded by elevated hardscape terraces continuous with those of the adjacent buildings.
With design beginning immediately, construction on the Center for Cyber Security Studies is scheduled to begin in late 2016. Completion is anticipated in the third quarter of 2019.
