The keystone for our overarching modernization effort is the Academic Building Upgrade Program (ABUP), a holistic 15-17-year program that involves the renovation of seven antiquated facilities, some more than a century old, which are critical to delivering academic, military, and character development programs. 

The Cyber and Engineering Academic Center (CEAC), a 136-thousand-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility, will modernize USMA’s engineering, technology, and cyber education capabilities and enable us to remain at the forefront of engineering education.  This new building will include laboratories with support space, project fabrication spaces, high bay areas with overhead lifts, workspaces, conference rooms, spray booths, and an assortment of other advanced capabilities for our engineering disciplines.

Our vision includes a complete revitalization of Trophy Point, one of the most visited places on West Point, to include the west end and concert areas.  This plan includes improvements for accessibility, pathways, viewing and visitation areas, as well as the amphitheater and stage.  The vision for Trophy Point also includes the construction of "The Link”, a proposed gift-funded facility that will further contribute to the education of cadets, staff, and faculty by showcasing the humanities components of West Point’s developmental programs and emphasizing the human dimension of war.  The Link, with its subterranean design, will enhance the viewshed of the Hudson River while providing a critical capability to link cadets, staff/faculty, candidates and families, and all visitors to the West Point Story: a place to remind visitors about the strategic nature of its past at the birth of our nation; a place to showcase the strategic nature of its present in the context of the leaders it continues to produce for our Army and nation; and a place to emphasize the criticality of its strategic role in the future of our nation as the preeminent leader development institution in the world.
