During their annual awards ceremony, DBIA-MAR (Design-Build Institute of America – Mid-America Region) recognized the success of this robust modernization project with an Excellence Award in the Healthcare category.

The award highlights the team’s integrated and collaborative approach to design-build project execution and was especially meaningful as JE Dunn was both prime contractor and designer of record for the design/build renovation project. The Excellence Award is JE Dunn’s first-ever award recognizing the company’s in-house design and construction services.

JE Dunn executed a lump sum, firm-fixed price design-build contract with the USACE. Architect Hoefer Welker supported architectural design providing document production (as well as interior design) services.

The modernization project was initiated to realign and/or right-size several 325th Medical Group (MDG) departments in Building 1465 due to changing base mission objectives. In addition, the connected Annex had significant interior damage as a result of Hurricane Michael in 2018 and was not functional. The design-build project built out new patient care and support spaces within the Annex and enhanced its exterior envelope to reduce energy usage and operational costs.

Thanks to early involvement, the entire team was engaged from the onset, establishing a strong foundation needed to execute this complex project. JE Dunn received Notice to Proceed (NTP) for the design-build contract on Nov. 30, 2021 with a contractual completion date of Sept. 30, 2024. Through efficient phasing, partnering and extensive collaboration, the project completed more than four months ahead of schedule, achieving beneficial occupancy on May 14, 2024.

Within the campus is an administrative space consisting of a 3-story, 340,250 square foot steel frame office building. For security purposes, the building was designed to be flexible to allow what are referred to as “outer”, “middle”, and “inner” areas and access is restricted accordingly. The building uses both demountable partitions and fixed walls in order to help achieve this flexibility. As such, the spaces are adaptable and can be reconfigured in a quick and cost effective manner, when needed. The skin of the administration building consists of a combination of concrete panels with sandblast finish, precast metal panels on mechanical penthouses, and a mixture of strip and punched glazing.

The campus houses non-nuclear, high-tech electronic components and assemblies on a large scale for the NNSA in support of the national defense effort. Spaces provided for large-scale, microelectronic manufacturing and critical process-related production spaces in a clean environment include microelectronic and component assembly and electrical fabrication; excess and reclamation processes; labs and engineering labs; manufacturing; specialized materials production; plastics and rubber processes; testing and inspection; paint and heat treating; inspection and testing; packaging; special warehouse storage; and shipping.

Of approximately 1.5 million square feet of usable space, it includes more than 150,000 square feet of modular and fixed Class 100, Class 10,000 and Class 100,000 cleanrooms for assembly, electrical fabrications and testing. The mechanical systems are constructed to control and prevent cross-contamination.

EMAPS will be a new laboratory to integrate manufacturing processes at scale using broad, multi-disciplinary sciences and technologies to accelerate industry’s adoption of the future circular and clean energy economies. It will include laboratory space to study the full life cycles and supply chains for energy-relevant materials and products and will primarily support the following areas of research: electrons-to-molecules, advanced electrification, green process innovation, and advanced biology and chemical processing. These research areas will be supported by a High Bay pilot-scale process integration laboratory. It will house research from the following NREL directorates: Mechanical and Thermal Engineering Sciences (MTES), Materials, Chemical and Computer Science (MCCS), and Bio-Energy Science and Technology (BEST) programs.

Close collaboration with the design team and the client resulted in over two dozen awards including recognition as the Government Building of the Year by Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), the GSA 2008 Construction Excellence Award, as well as a national Top 10 Green Project by the AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE).
