All four production units are built with 21 m free-spanning, cross-laminated timber, creating flexible column free – space s. Along the color and wood factory, the sloping roofs are extended to form a pathway for visitors and staff to hike up and down the building while observing the production processes inside. Inside the factories, each wing has one alternating ceiling corner lifted to create inclined roofs that allow views into the production halls as well as the forest outside.

Exploring The Plus feels like moving through an archipelago of colorful islands where the experience and overview of the factory’s activities are unified. Like a flowchart, the entire interior is organized with the color of each machine overflowing to the floors.
The layout enables an efficient, flexible, and transparent workflow between the manufacturing units and an intuitive visitor experience. The Plus is conceived as a radial array of four main production halls – a warehouse, color factory, wood factory, and the assembly – that connect at the center and generate the ‘plus’ shape at its intersection. An array of large-scale vitrines open up towards a public street, welcoming visitors and locals with an impressive glimpse into the museum’s collection of artifacts inside and outside, conveying the mission, lineage and breadth of operations that constitutes the US Navy.
BIG’s competition proposal, developed in collaboration with landscape architects Olin Studio and digital media agency Squint/Opera, seeks to reflect the historical context of the Navy Yard, while referencing the scale, materials and details of Navy vessels. The campus would consist of approximately 270,000 sq ft, including 100,000 sq ft of gallery space and is intended to be a modern, public-facing space comprising a new building and ceremonial courtyard, as well as the potential renovation of existing historical buildings. Navy’s heritage and a lighthouse in the community for education and public events. The planned state-of-the-art National Museum of the United States Navy is envisioned as a home for both Naval veterans and the public, a living memorial to the U.S.
