case study summary

A Naval Base asked our Whitley Evergreen facility to construct a child development center for the service men and women. With the building being on an active military base site disruption needed to be mitigated to allow for normal functions to take place on base.

A Naval Base needed to construct the Child Development Center (CDC) to serve (64) children; (16) infants, (20) pre-toddlers, and (28) toddlers. The building is intended for military personnel on the base.

Whitley Evergreen partnered with a Sunbelt Dealer to complete the CDC. But, first, there were two significant challenges for this project; restricted access to the job site and strict requirements for the USGBC LEED Silver certification. But, this would not be unfamiliar territory for either Whitley Evergreen or the Sunbelt Dealer. Despite challenges from the poor soil conditions, there was little effect on the construction schedule. The work continued indoors uninterrupted from the weather. Once the modules were delivered and set, the Sunbelt Dealer constructed the pitched roof and made final finishes on site. The completed building features an attractive design, sustainable finishes and efficient systems

A permanent modular child development center designed to serve military families with sustainable, highperformance construction. Built to LEED Silver standards, the facility combines secure access, energy efficiency, and durable materials to create a safe, nurturing environment for infants, toddlers, and preschool children-while minimizing disruption to base operations.
