Environmental challenges are threatening the facilities and infrastructure at the US Naval Academy. The historic location on the Chesapeake Bay present coastal flooding and storm surge threats due to sea level rise. Historic facilities are vulnerable to water damage and the inadequate storm water management system pose a threat to infrastructure systems.
The challenge was to develop immediate protections and long-term solutions within budgetary constraints.
