Crosby Group provided complete structural engineering design on this award-winning design-build Technical Applications Center for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida. This campus environment on a military installation includes four separate facilities that are designed to withstand hurricane force winds up to 140 mph, comply with DOD Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (ATFP) requirements per the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) and withstand a 13.5 foot storm surge.

The primary facility is the 4-story, 230,000sf Headquarters Building, a steel moment-frame with precast concrete cladding facility which operates 24/7/365 and houses offices, a 250-seat multipurpose training facility auditorium, conference rooms, clean-room scientific research laboratories, a warehouse, and a data center. Adjacent to the Headquarters Building is the Laboratory Building, a 36,000sf 1-story with mezzanine steel braced frame with precast concrete cladding structure housing Class 10,000 clean room laboratories designed to accommodate vibration and electromagnetic interference-sensitive equipment. Supporting the operations at this new facility, the 1-story, 20,000sf Central Utility Plant (CUP) building is a steel braced frame building with precast concrete cladding and houses offices and conference rooms in addition to space for pumps and chillers, boilers, main and emergency electrical power, emergency generators, UPS output and disintegrators. A 5-story, 200,000sf, 560-space precast concrete parking structure provides parking for the personnel of this new facility.
