Based in Rockville, Maryland, Forrester Construction Company recently completed work on a large columbarium at Arlington National Cemetery. Shortly before Memorial Day 2013, Arlington National Cemetery unveiled Columbarium Court No. 9. Encompassing two acres, this facility consists of 20,000 niches that can hold three to four urns apiece. As one of the biggest columbaria in the cemetery, it will serve as the resting place for military veterans and their families while alleviating the space-shortage problem facing the national landmark. During the dedication ceremony, unclaimed remains of troops from the Civil War, World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War were interred there.

Based in Rockville, Maryland, Forrester Construction Company recently
completed work on a large columbarium at Arlington National
Cemetery.
Shortly before Memorial Day 2013, Arlington National Cemetery
unveiled Columbarium Court No. 9. Encompassing two acres, this
facility consists of 20,000 niches that can hold three to four urns apiece.
As one of the biggest columbaria in the cemetery, it will serve as the
resting place for military veterans and their families while alleviating
the space-shortage problem facing the national landmark. During the
dedication ceremony, unclaimed remains of troops from the Civil War,
World War I, World War II, and the Vietnam War were interred there.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers hired the firm to oversee
the project because of its positive experience with two previous
cemetery projects. Starting construction in January 2012, the firm took
into account the architecture and scenery of Arlington National
Cemetery when creating the structure. Among its features are a central
fountain and a storm-water management system. Forrester completed
the assignment three months ahead of schedule.
