BBB designed the conversion of a WWII-era storage facility and former warehouse into a state-of-the-art commercial and light manufacturing building at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Built in 1942 for the United States Navy’s operations during WWII, Building 77 is the largest structure—at 970,000 SF and 18 stories—on the Navy Yard’s 300-acre campus. Used almost exclusively for warehouse functions until 2010, the building has been transformed into a commercial and light industrial hub, positioned to support the Yard’s ongoing redevelopment as an urban manufacturing complex and catalyst for economic development.
During a complete, multi-disciplinary evaluation, existing systems were assessed for their compliance to code and general condition, and recommendations for improvements were priced and prioritized to allow for a phased series of renovations.
