Signature Projects

The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission (BRAC) initiative targeted the Army Installation of Fort Bliss, Texas to receive an influx of nearly 30,000 troops, ultimately totaling six new Brigade Combat Teams. Many compared the Fort Bliss Expansion Program to building a small city from the ground up. The $4.8 billion program encompassed 4,500 acres of greenfield development, 130 projects, and 300 facilities, totaling 11 million square feet of new buildings. Huitt-Zollars, as part of a Joint Venture, was selected to be the Land Development Engineer (LDE) for the Fort Bliss Expansion Program, and was responsible for design, program integration, and construction management.

Directorate of Emergency Services (DES) Headquarters and Police Station

White Sands Missile Range New Mexico

Huitt-Zollars served as the prime design consultant for the Directorate of Emergency Services (DES) Headquarters and Police Station at White Sands Missile Range. The facility serves as a base of operations for DES law enforcement activities and administrative offices. The building was designed to comply with the requirements of USACE Engineering Construction Bulletin 2010-14, which mandates a 40% savings in energy use. Solar-water heating and photovoltaic panels were incorporated into the design.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Buildout Design and Construction Oversight, Arlington, TX

Huitt-Zollars performed Construction Management Services for design, construction and relocation of the office space for the NRC. Services included overall project management, schedule management, review of payment applications, technical review of design submissions, construction observation, and extensive project photography. During the design phase, Huitt-Zollars ensured that the design was in conformity with the Solicitation For Offers (SFO) and the NRC’s Special Requirements Package (SRP), oversaw the preparation of Design Intent Drawings, detailed construction drawings, monitored the progress of the architect of record and the entire design team, while also providing technical design reviews for all disciplines.

B-21 Raider Fuel Cell Maintenance Hangar

A single-bay fuel cell hangar was designed to support the periodic maintenance of the new B-21 Raider strategic bomber weapons system. The facility encompassed a fuel cell bay, shops, a training room, administrative areas, utility spaces, and more. Our design process involved thorough planning, adherence to federal design guidance, and close collaboration with key stakeholders. The team’s design extended beyond the physical structure, covering utility lines, airfield pavement, and stormwater management design. Our team demonstrated flexibility by refining the design based on emerging aircraft requirements. We engaged in VE studies and cost and schedule risk analyses, ensuring the built facility’s long-term utility, cost-effectiveness, and resilience. The sustainability commitment was evident by our focus on reducing energy and water consumption, incorporating sustainable materials, and conducting life cycle cost analyses. We ensured compliance with DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings, using advanced modeling tools, such as Revit BIM and CIM 3D, Throughout the project, the team implemented a rigorous quality control plan, incorporating industry best practices and adhering to DoD design criteria.

Building 8 & Dynamic Component Rebuild Facility

Corpus Christi Army Depot (CCAD) is a high security center of industrial excellence for rotary wing aircraft. It is the largest helicopter repair facility in the world. It serves as a rebuild facility for the entire airframe, but parts of the facility were decades old and created operational inefficiencies for the maintenance staff. Project scope of this task comprised facility and site master planning to include space planning, programming, equipment needs identification and sequence of acquisition of equipment, overall project definition and funding/construction sequencing alternatives. Huitt-Zollars provided 100% of the design services for this project.

The Maneuver Systems Sustainment Center (MSSC)

A $70 million new facility that achieves consolidation of multiple functions into a single 377,000-square-foot, seven-building facility on approximately 15 acres of site development. In addition to the design of the building and site, Huitt-Zollars was responsible for programming, layout, and design of approximately $20 million of highly specialized process-related equipment. Huitt-Zollars served as the prime design firm, with responsibility for management as well as technical responsibility for architecture, structure, mechanical (including both HVAC and piping/plumbing) and electrical engineering.

The New Central Library, Austin, TX

The New Central Library is the future “pulse” of the city, establishing a major civic presence and community gathering space in the redeveloped Seaholm District. Along the banks of Shoal Creek, the six-story, 198,000 SF new building with a two-level parking garage is Austin’s largest-ever public library. The iconic building defined by a daylight-filled, six-story atrium wrapped by collections and event space. Elements included a series of reading porches that overlook Shoal Creek and Lady Bird Lake, reading room, a cafe, and a “Recycled Reads” bookstore. A 350-seat special events center supports the city’s emerging culture and arts programs. Two levels of parking for 200+ cars are also included in the project.
