Project Description

This was a Design/Build project between Clark Nexsen and The Whiting Turner Contracting Company. This project consisted of a 288,000 SF multiple award contract which included construction of four Bachelor-Enlisted Quarters for approximately 1,300 soldiers with 650 bedrooms in accordance with UFC-4-721-10. The project involved design and construction of barracks on two independent sites (Project P1150 and P1155) with a total of four barracks buildings, two on each site. Each facility is a 4-story, load-bearing, masonry building with an exterior corridor-style construction. Each building is approximately 72,000 SF and acts as a self-contained building.  The buildings have a 2-story lounge with interior laundry and meeting facilities. Each site is approximately 20 acres in size, and has a central mechanical facility to feed utilities to each building.  The project incorporated site work with site grading, clearing, water, sanitary sewer, storm water management, parking and recreational facilities that include basketball and volleyball courts along with picnic shelters and grill areas.
