Building a Resilient and Sustainable Waterfront at the US Naval Academy
The combination of sea level rise and deteriorating waterfront infrastructure have progressively threatened the United States Naval Academy (USNA) in Annapolis, Maryland. Parts of the USNA have historically experienced flooding events, and sea level rise will increase the likelihood of flooding damage to the historical campus infrastructure. Relocating the vulnerable campus is not an option, so the navy has begun efforts to protect one of its most valuable and historic installations. This project is slated for inclusion in the larger, comprehensive USNA Military Installation Resilience Plan, currently under development. This paper highlights the important design considerations and challenges to account for sea level rise in waterfront rehabilitation projects, including bulkhead components, mooring, access, aesthetics, historical monuments, and stormwater drainage.
