This Design-Build project focuses on improving the quality of life for single Marines at Twentynine Palms with a campus approach, similar to college campus design. The work of this project includes the design, engineering, and construction of three dormitory buildings, a dining facility, parking structure and 500-seat open-air amphitheater complex prominently located in the middle of the campus. The dormitory buildings and the dining facility are both contemporary in design and use the base vernacular materials to provide unity and continuity. LEED Gold sustainability and energy efficiency are key elements of the campus design.
The campus is organized in distinct functional zones: living areas, community areas, dining facility, active and passive recreational and parking areas. Many of the site design elements serve dual purposes where practical. Each building has 22,945 SF of PV panels installed on adjacent covered parking to the dormitory building with 50% use of shade structure space.
