In response to a solicitation from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the team of Turner Construction, Skidmore, Owens, and Merrill, and Limbach prepared the successful offer for design and construction of an expansion to Marshall Hall at the National Defense University at Ft. McNair in Washington, DC. The expansion, named Lincoln Hall, contains over 255,000 square feet of conference rooms and academic offices for the training of military leaders from all over the world. Functional areas of the new facility include administrative offices, classrooms, student breakout rooms, reception areas, student lounges, cafeteria, kitchen; a conference center with 600 person auditorium; lobbies, bathrooms, mechanical space and several SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities).
