Wrapping up the year with behind-the-scenes work that makes a big difference! An underground pipe was successfully repaired, along with the installation of a cement thrust to ensure long-term safety and stability. We’d like to give a huge thank you to our Mason Shop, Roads Shop, and Engineering Division for their teamwork, dedication, and hard work in getting the job done right—starting the new year on a solid foundation!

The Directorate of Public Works would like to wish everyone a wonderful and joyous holiday season. May this time be filled with peace, celebration, and moments shared with those who matter most. Enjoy the holidays, stay safe, and celebrate the season surrounded by warmth, gratitude, and good cheer!

Our custodial team works each day to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness throughout the barracks. Their commitment goes far beyond daily routines—they ensure living spaces remain clean, safe, and ready for the cadets who rely on them. Whether it’s early mornings, late evenings, or the countless details in between, their dedication plays a vital role in supporting the readiness and well-being of the Corps.

We’re proud of their hard work, professionalism, and the pride they take in every task. Thank you to our custodial team for the essential work you do every day. Your efforts make a lasting difference.

Our teams are proud to support the USMA cadets during their bonfire and pep rally as they gear up to take on Navy. Best of luck to our football team this weekend- Go Army, Beat Navy!

DPW is pleased to report a successful response to the season’s first snowfall. We extend our appreciation to the Roads and Grounds and Custodial teams for their dedicated efforts in keeping our roadways and sidewalks safe for daily commuting.

The Directorate of Public Works extends our warmest wishes to you and your family for a joyful holiday!

Our Roads team is hard at work using an excavator to cut into the roadway so we can repair a steam line that delivers heat to our buildings.

This important upgrade will keep our spaces warm, comfortable, and running smoothly — thank you for your patience while we make it happen!

Fall has arrived! Explore our Agronomist’s expert perspective on tree health and the seasonal changes in foliage, featured in West Point magazine!

From the first elm trees planted by the Academy’s earliest graduates to class trees still standing today, the grounds tell a story. 🌳

Our Roads and Grounds team has been working hard off-post on our range roads, dedicating countless hours to ensure that the infrastructure is always ready to support the cadets’ training needs. Their recent efforts culminated in a crucial project that not only enhances the safety and accessibility of the training areas but also ensures our cadets have the optimal environment to develop the skills necessary for their success.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each member of the team for their commitment, hard work, and attention to detail. Thank you for your dedication and for going above and beyond in everything you do!

Today, the West Point community gathered in solemn remembrance to honor the lives lost in the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. As we reflect on the profound impact of that day, we stand united in paying tribute to the victims, their families, and the countless heroes who selflessly gave their lives in service to others.

In this moment of remembrance, we not only honor the fallen, but also reaffirm our enduring commitment to the principles of duty, honor, and country that define us as a community. The events of 9/11 forever changed the course of history, and today, we stand together not just to remember, but to ensure that their sacrifices are never forgotten and that the strength of our shared values continues to guide us.

We will never forget.
