Story

Mekus Tanager was part of a team that created a master plan for the 22 acre expansion for this national cemetery.  The plan included full casket gravesites in pre-placed crypts, columbaria niches, roads and utilities sufficient to support a ten-year projection of burial needs.  Additionally, the plan called for the renovation of the administration and public information building, a new public  information/restroom building and a new commital shelter.

We then proceded to implement the build-out of Phase I.  We renovated the administration building and built an addition to house the maintenance offices, locker rooms, employee lounge and a new main conference room.  We designed an addition for the the maintenance building as well, providing additional vehicle storage and materials bays.  We also designed the new committal shelter and a new public information/restroom building.

The scope of services included completion of a Master Plan to a schematic design level for the expansion area of the cemetery and design  development design, construction documents and construction administration for the Phase I development area.
