MMM prepared design and construction documents for the expansion and addition to this facility. The basic scope of services called for a 21,546 SF expansion/addition to Building RTC-1, a World War II structure (ca. 1943) that had undergone two previous additions, one in 1948 and the other in 1994. With two stories, the roof of RTC-1 presented gabled and hipped configuration, while the exterior was a combination of brick veneer and stucco. Located within 250 feet of the Cooper River, the CSC Facility was sited within five acres of developed land and was heavily landscaped around the building footprint. Building 200, an adjacent structure, was also modified to accommodate the RTC-1 expansion.

The project proceeded in two phases: Phase I consisted of field investigation, studies, and design development, while Phase II consisted of the design and preparation of final construction and cost estimate documents. MMM services included architectural and interior design; mechanical, electrical, structural, and civil engineering; landscape beautification; physical and topographic survey; and geotechnical and environmental consultation. Additional services included a water intrusion study of RTC-1 and a power quality evaluation of the building.
