Gilbane Federal has been awarded a multiple award construction contract by Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southeast for the construction of a Littoral Innovation and Prototyping Facility at Naval Support Activity Panama City, Florida. The project supports the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division and will replace nine buildings that received damage from Hurricane Michael in October 2018.
The work provides for construction of a 54,475 square-foot laboratory, and support space capable of housing workspace and laboratories for engineers and scientists. The facility will consolidate geographically dispersed buildings, increasing inter-program research interaction while also reducing maintenance and repair costs.
The facility will be equipped with high bays with an overhead crane, loading dock, large tank room and elevator. Laboratory spaces will be outfitted for technology development in the areas of: advanced sensors; biosciences; communications; computational sciences; platform-based cybersecurity; big data analytics; autonomy; robotics; machine learning; artificial intelligence; automatic target recognition; and predictive methodologies.
Work is expected to be completed by January 2026.
