KMA Architecture & Engineering (KMA) was recently selected as the architect for a new warehouse for the Marine Corps Base at Camp Pendleton, in a design/build partnership with Balfour Beatty Construction. Construction on the warehouse is expected to begin in April 2012 and will be complete in mid 2013.
KMA will begin designs for the 30,000 square foot, $6.5 million project to meet LEED® Gold certification. In addition to energy efficient features, the single story structure will include high bay doors, a full-length loading dock along the north side, CMU bearing walls and a steel roof. Designs will allow the option for NAVFAC Southwest to expand the building to 90,000 square feet in the future.
“The new warehouses are being built to replace existing buildings that were constructed before WWII,” said Robb Walker, principal at KMA Architecture & Engineering. “Our design incorporates the latest in sustainable features and provides for maximum functionality, flexibility, and future expansion of the facility.”
