This project involved the major renovation of a 20,000 SF troop store into a LEED-certifiable 30,000 SF mini-mall with a food court including seven concepts, a liquor store, a convenience store, a barber shop, a GNC retail space and a military clothing store.

An extensive phasing plan to keep the facility operational as much as possible during construction was developed. The facility was designed to Department of Defense Anti-Terrorism standards. The project was required to be LEED certifiable. M + A conducted an extensive traffic study to determine the impact, if any, of the facility to the surrounding 82nd Airborne complex at Ft. Bragg. Site work included grading, paving, storm water quality structures and utilities on a site occupying approximately four acres.

Morris provided schematic design, design documents and construction administration for the project. Services included concept design, sustainable design, cost estimates, surveying, soil tests, traffic studies, energy computations, life cycle cost analysis, compliance with Department of Defense Anti-Terrorism requirements and coordination with facility planning, environmental and military officials.
