Residence Hall P723 – NAS Pensacola

Building P-723 is a new four-story bachelor enlisted quarters (BEQ) at Corry Station, Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, Florida, designed for Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Southeast. The 58,158-square-foot residence hall is designed to house 216 A-school students training at the Center for Information Dominance, in two-person rooms built to Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) standards. The design takes the adjacent residence hall built as P-724 as its guide, using the same north and west wings with ten fewer rooms on each floor of the west wing. A two-story lobby and reception area sits on the first floor beside the building office, with the fire pump and elevator equipment rooms. Every floor has a common laundry, bulk storage, and mechanical, electrical, and communications rooms.

The firm prepared the construction documents for architecture, interior design, landscape design, and civil design, and reviewed submittals and answered questions during construction. Structural, plumbing and mechanical, fire protection, and electrical engineering were provided by consulting firms on the team. The building is a steel frame with concrete on metal deck floors. The exterior is face brick veneer on metal stud backup with decorative cast stone accents, under a standing seam metal hipped roof on cold-formed metal trusses, with a one-story aluminum and glass entry vestibule. The project was designed to attain LEED Silver certification. Design began at award in June 2017 and was completed in August 2018; construction was completed in October 2020.
