The National Park Service (NPS) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for adaptive use of the former officers’ club at Fort Monroe National Monument. The RFP allows interested parties to submit their concept(s) of potential future adaptive use of this unique multi-use indoor-outdoor waterfront facility. The building is 23,352 square feet and located at 490 Fenwick Road in Fort Monroe, VA. In addition to the building, there is a swimming pool, an outdoor concession area and approximately 1,100 feet of beach frontage. A key objective in the potential adaptive reuse is to maintain this property in good condition and assure use of the leased property in a manner consistent with the purposes of the applicable park area as established by law, and the preservation of historic property in partnership with the National Park Service.
Copies of the RFP are available for viewing and download online in two locations:
