Summary
This industry day presentation focuses on the Thayer Hall modernization project at West Point, aimed at transforming the facility into a state-of-the-art humanities hub.
The presentation outlines the historical context of Thayer Hall, which has served as a military training facility since the early 1900s and has undergone various renovations over the decades. Key issues identified include outdated HVAC systems, inefficient interior design, and a lack of flexibility that hinders innovation. The need for modernization is emphasized to align with contemporary educational standards and to enhance West Point's competitive edge.
The program requirements for Thayer Hall are detailed, highlighting its role as an academic hub for various humanities disciplines, including law, philosophy, history, and social sciences.
The modernization aims to create collaborative spaces that foster teamwork and innovative pedagogy while respecting the building's status as a national historic landmark. Plans include expanding the existing 300,000 square feet with additional floors, incorporating classrooms, offices, and a 1,400-seat auditorium.
Furthermore, the project envisions a fully electric and efficient facility that incorporates sustainable practices such as geothermal energy solutions and aims for an energy use intensity (EUI) goal of approximately 70 kBtu/sf/yr.
This presentation serves to inform potential contractors about the project's scope and requirements while inviting collaboration in its execution.
