Renovations, indoor wellness enhancements and energy efficiency upgrades support resident comfort
Corvias, a trusted infrastructure and resiliency partner to the U.S. military and higher education institutions, is leading a multi-faceted approach to better military housing at Fort Meade. Major and medium interior home renovations, new roofs, indoor wellness solutions and energy efficiency upgrades will modernize homes and increase resident comfort.
In early summer, David Dentino, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Housing, and Partnerships, toured Fort Meade housing and noted the importance of “driving policies and partnerships that modernize housing.” Now that more improvements are underway, military families will soon begin reaping the full benefits.
Home Renovations
A combination of medium or major renovations will benefit 827 townhomes and 51 historic cottages. Examples of these renovations include new:
- Roofs on over 50 buildings
- Flooring, kitchen cabinets, granite countertops
- Stainless steel appliances
- Bathroom tub, vanity and shower fixtures
- Hard-surface flooring throughout the home
- Painting refresh
Historic cottages in Heritage Park will receive the most sizeable renovations with structural changes in the bathrooms to make them more functional, along with new plumbing.
Wellness Enhancements
Corvias’ Wellness at Home program signals a commitment to improve indoor air, water, and light quality to meet certifiable standards set by the International WELL Building Institute and allow our residences to achieve WELL for Residential certification. Nearly 1,000 homes at Fort Meade will receive these enhancements, and 80 have now achieved the coveted WELL for Residential certification.
Intended to contribute to service members’ well-being and readiness, this project is set to wrap up by February 2026.
Energy Efficiency Upgrades
In 2026, over 1,400 Fort Meade homes will receive geothermal heat pumps and new thermostats, which will improve energy efficiency and sustainability while also offering better temperature controls.
In addition to these upgrades, Corvias utilizes its Solutions Through Partnerships® approach to contribute to installation resiliency through solar power generation that contributes to energy independence.
Corvias continues to identify the most impactful opportunities to support the Army’s infrastructure goals on the installations and throughout military housing communities. For more information about Corvias’ military housing partnerships, visit https://www.corvias.com/projects.
