Greater Charleston Naval Base Memorial

City of North Charleston

North Charleston, SC

21,780 square feet

North Charleston was once a bustling city anchored by the shipping industry and the Greater Charleston Naval Base.  The contributions of the men and women, both military and civilian, who lived and worked there helped to shape not only the region, but ultimately, the world. 

The Greater Charleston Naval Base Memorial was commissioned to honor these achievements.  Burt Hill partnered with BNIM Architects to develop the memorial, located along the Cooper River in North Charleston Riverfront Park.  The design creates a sense of place, with spaces that are culturally creative, ecologically healthy, educationally diverse, and recreationally versatile.
