The project at MCAS Cherry Point focuses on modifying the pharmacy entrance located in Building 3918. The scope includes demolishing part of an existing wall to install a cased opening, along with associated work such as providing a steel frame, vinyl composition tile, and wall base as per specified standards. The effort requires careful scheduling to minimize disruption to operations, adhering to strict safety and personnel access regulations.
