“AECOM’s strong in-house multi-disciplinary capabilities and track record of technical excellence positioned us as a trusted partner to help modernize the cadet experience,” said Lara Poloni, AECOM’s President.
The $25-million design contract requires a complex five-phase renovation that will allow Sijan Hall to remain occupied throughout construction. Sijan Hall — the second-largest dormitory in the United States with 2,200 beds — is grouped into squadrons. AECOM’s design team will reconfigure shared spaces for studying and socializing. The modernization will incorporate energy-efficient materials and systems, smart building technologies, improved daylighting, and updated HVAC systems, including geothermal energy and air conditioning for the first time — all while meeting USACE high-performance and sustainable building requirements.
