The Pentagon Renovation Program or PENREN is a long-term project by the United States Department of Defense to perform a complete slab-to-slab renovation of The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The program began in the 1990s, and is expected to be completed by 2010.
Projects
Information technology
The basic information system infrastructure in the Pentagon was installed long before the advent of personal computers, facsimile machines, video teleconferencing, and digital telephone service, and has evolved without a design plan. In 1943, when the Pentagon was built, there was one telephone for every three employees. Over the last 57 years, new information technology capabilities have emerged and the new systems have been laid on top of the old. Over time, this merging of technology has become unmanageable and not easily upgraded. As requirements emerged, facilities and systems were added with little or no regard to existing capabilities or long term requirements. The individual military departments and agencies engineered and installed equipment and cables to meet their immediate specific needs.
The objective of the ITS effort is to provide cost-effective services and capabilities that will best serve the needs of the Pentagon tenants and Department of Defense senior leadership by leveraging technology advancements and designing and developing integrated systems. The information technology modernization is being accomplished in conjunction with the building’s wedge by wedge renovation.
Some Facts: Over 1,700 miles (2,700 km) of cabling; More than 100,000 voice, data, and video drops; 50,000 data faceplates; 30,000 tenants and their IT assets; 16 Consolidated Server Rooms, down from 70 Server Rooms Before.
Metro entrance facility
When the Washington Metro's Pentagon station originally opened, access to the Pentagon from the station was gained through a direct underground entrance. An outdoor bus station also existed at the station's street entrance.
As part of the renovation, vehicular traffic was moved further away from the building itself, and the direct entrance from the Metro station was eliminated in order to enhance security. This involved constructing a new dual-level bus station beyond the original bus station, and constructing a new Metro entrance facility. The new entrance facility is accessed from street level, with a covered path leading from the bus station past the Metro station entrance to the Pentagon itself.
In addition, the opening of the bus facility marked the return of bus traffic to the Pentagon, after having been moved to the Pentagon City station due to security changes made following the attack on the Pentagon on September 11 , 2001 .
Navy build-out 2A1
The Navy Build-Out project is located in the basement of Wedge 4 and consists of approximately 3,000 square feet (280 m 2 ) of occupiable space. Demolition and abatement of this space was completed in November 2001 By Nuprecon Demolition Inc. The Build-Out was awarded to Gilford Corporation in September 2001 and construction began in early November 2001. The contractor designed and constructed office space, conference/training rooms, and supporting spaces including mechanical rooms, telephone closets, electrical closets, bathrooms, equipment rooms, etc. to house the Navy.
The project renovated approximately 30,000 sq ft (2,800 m 2 ) of occupiable space, installed over 200 helical screwed piles through the existing slab on grade to support a new structural floor slab. Demolition and abatement of the space was completed November 31 , 2001 . Build-out was awarded to Gilford Corporation with Design by Ai Architects on September 14 , 2001 . The original completion date was set as March 2003, with tenant move in scheduled for April 2003. The project was completed in June 2003.
Pentagon Athletic Center
The original facility, the Pentagon Athletic Club has never undergone a physical renovation. PAC management has made it a point to keep the facility updated with modern equipment. However, the projected increase in usage will soon exceed the amount of space available at the Penatgon Athletic Club. The Pentagon Athletic Center will be more than 50% larger, and accommodate 8,000 members per day, compared to the 2,000 members per day supported at the Pentagon Athletic Club. The additional space will also increase the facility's capacity to bring in more workout equipment, allow for more varied exercise areas and rooms, and help to reduce crowded conditions during peak usage times.
Pentagon Library and Conference Center
The Pentagon Library and Conference Center project, also known as PLC2, transformed the former Pentagon Athletic Center into the new home for the Army library, sixteen conference rooms operated by the Department of Defense Concessions Committee, several offices under the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, and also a cafe for catering purposes. Design elements include a two-story Grand Hall entrance, terrazzo flooring, and large skylights to provide natural light.
Due to the former Pentagon Athletic Center's being completely underground, in creating the new facility, PENREN had to completely demolish the original structure, leaving only the surrounding walls and roof intact.
Pentagon Memorial
The Pentagon Memorial is designed so that the nation may remember and reflect on the events that occurred on September 11, 2001. The Memorial will be free and open to the public seven days a week. Groups and individuals are welcome in the Memorial each day but guided tours are not offered; the Memorial is meant to be experienced on a more personal level. The Pentagon Memorial is located at 1 Rotary Road on the Pentagon Reservation in Arlington, Virginia.
Similar to other PENREN construction projects, the Memorial Project is also focusing on sustainability. The project’s sustainable efforts include: site development through reclaimed land development and its proximity to mass transportation; and in high efficiency through low impact mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (fountain) systems. Additionally, the Memorial project teams are tracking erosion and sediment control, stormwater management, and light pollution reduction. The LEED credits achieved from this project will contribute to the overall Pentagon Reservation certification.
Phoenix Project
The Phoenix Project was a project to repair the damage to the Pentagon caused when American Airlines Flight 77 was deliberately crashed into the building during the September 11, 2001 attacks. The goal was to reoccupy the outermost ring of the rebuilt section by September 11 , 2002 . This goal was exceeded by nearly a month, with tenants moving back in on August 15 , 2002 .
The project entailed the complete demolition and reconstruction of the C, D, and E Rings in the area of the boundary between the recently-renovated Wedge 1 and the unrenovated Wedge 2. Wedge 1 space would be fully rebuilt, while only the building shell would be rebuilt for Wedge 2. A full build-out for the Wedge 2 space would be completed at a later time.
The phrase "Let's roll", as spoken by Todd Beamer on United Airlines Flight 93, was adopted as the project's slogan. A clock counting down the time until 9:37 AM on September 11, 2002 was located on site as well.
Remote Delivery Facility
The Remote Delivery Facility (RDF) is a new 250,000-square-foot (23,000 m 2 ) shipping and receiving facility adjoining the Pentagon. The RDF significantly improves the physical security of the Pentagon by providing a secure consolidated location for receiving and screening thousands of items shipped to the building each day.
The Remote Delivery facility contains 38 loading docks, and receives an average of 250 trucks per day. The roof is landscaped to create a park-like atmosphere, and is the first major project to utilize a design-build delivery system.
Roads, grounds, and security
Initiated as a direct result of the terrorist attack, the Pentagon Roads, Grounds, and Security projects will enhance Pentagon perimeter security. With a combined total value of $35 million, these initiatives will increase standoff distance between the Pentagon and public roadways. These projects were completed October 2004.
Two Roads, Grounds and Security Projects are the Remote Delivery Facility Secure Access Lane along Route 27 and the Pentagon Secure Bypass Lane which involves the rerouting of Route 110 through the Pentagon North lot.
Pentagon Secure Bypass - Scope of Work: -Relocating Route 110 east towards Boundary Channel Drive to increase stand-off distance to Pentagon and eliminate traffic under River Terrace -Reconfigure parking around new road
