FORT MEADE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Officials from the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Housing and Partnerships and Corvias toured Fort Meade on May 22 to inspect ongoing Corvias-led improvements to military housing on the installation. For more than 25 years, Corvias has partnered with the Army to deliver resilient, future-ready infrastructure that supports mission success, promotes wellness, and builds strong communities. At Fort Meade, that partnership is now accelerating upgrades that include interior housing renovations, energy efficiency upgrades, and indoor environmental quality enhancements. 'Our responsibility is to ensure the Army's installation infrastructure is positioned to support readiness, resilience, and long-term sustainability,' said David Dentino, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Housing, and Partnerships. 'That means driving policies and partnerships that modernize housing, improve energy security, and strengthen our ability to adapt to future needs. By leveraging private-sector expertise, we can deliver better outcomes for Soldiers and their families, while stewarding resources wisely and efficiently.' Nearly all of Fort Meade's approximately 3,000 homes will be touched by one of three key improvement initiatives – all of which are on-time or ahead of schedule: Project Homestead – A renovation-based development plan focused on improving neighborhoods – particularly older homes – to ensure they meet resident needs. Upgrades include modernized kitchens and bathrooms, new appliances, upgraded lighting and plumbing fixtures, new flooring, and reconfigured floor plans. Energy Upgrades – More than 50% of Fort Meade's family housing will receive advanced energy systems, including the replacement of aging HVAC and hot water systems with high-efficiency ground source heat pumps. Wellness at Home – An expansion of indoor wellness-focused enhancements to family housing, including water filtration, air purification, humidity control, and circadian lighting to support occupant health and readiness. The $163 million investment began in January 2025 and is scheduled to continue through 2029. During the visit, leaders reviewed renovations, installations, and geothermal drilling—marking visible momentum in support of Army infrastructure goals. 'We're building the installation of the future by aligning with the Army's priorities and investing in what truly matters – resilience, readiness, and quality of life,' said Denise Hauck, Corvias Department of Defense President. 'Through smart infrastructure, energy diversification, and wellness-centered design, we're creating environments that not only support today's Soldiers and their families but are ready for tomorrow's missions.

LAWTON, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--More than 1,700 military family homes at the U.S. Army's Fort Sill will receive modernized heating and cooling technology over the next three years as part of a Corvias improvement project at the installation.

'These geothermal upgrades reinforce our commitment to energy resilience and independence and the well-being of our residents.' The project is deployed without any upfront investment from the Army-Corvias partnership by leveraging an Energy Saving Performance Contract (ESPC) to provide capital improvements while reducing annual electrical consumption up to 40% and natural gas consumption up to 50%. 'This is a cost‐effective way to bring enhanced quality of life and comfort to our residents. The improvements allow for energy savings, predictive maintenance, and improved reliability and energy performance to ensure Army installation, service member and family readiness,' said Denise Hauck, Corvias DOD President.
