Project Description
This national museum is a highly acclaimed LEED Silver facility built for the US Army Corps of Engineers and houses over 25 million artifacts.
The single-story building is a combination of structural steel framing, tilt-up panels, cast in place walls and a limestone and metal panel veneer. The Museum features an extensive glass curtain wall system and slope glazed skylight system, all designed to meet the stringent Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection requirements of the Unified Facilities Criteria 4-010-01.
The building also includes an extensive vapor barrier system and an HVAC system designed for exceptionally strict climate control. A part of the BRAC program, the Museum is located at the Forest Glen Annex in Silver Spring, Maryland.
