This 270,000 sf facility built in the 1860’s as a ship building shop had been abandoned for decades. The Brooklyn Navy Yard’s mandate was to renovate this facility to accommodate multiple food processing/ industrial tenants with the effect of creating hundreds of jobs while maintaining the original character of the building. With a construction budget of over $50M, BD Engineering was up to the task. We had to balance functionality and flexibility with the need to maintain the historic integrity of the building, all while achieving LEED Silver certification.
