Building for Improved Readiness

Army Reserve Center's Logo

The project includes the construction of four (4) new single-story buildings as part of the new Army Reserve Center project — a 32,000-square-foot Army Reserve Center (“ARC”) building; 10,000-square-foot Vehicle Maintenance Shop (“VMS”) building with an adjacent 500-square-foot automotive tool set (“SATS”) trailer covered canopy area; 1,500-square-foot Unheated Storage building; and an 800-square-foot Wash Rack building. Another primary structure of the project is a new heavily-reinforced cast-in-place concrete bi-level loading ramp.

The ARC building includes functional areas such as offices, classrooms, team rooms, learning centers, assembly areas, common administration areas, and areas for recruiting and retention, Family Support, Reserve Personnel Action Center, Army Reserve Career Counselor, simulator, and physical readiness. Other functional areas include large unit storage areas, arms vault with armorer room, and full-service kitchen with a scullery and drink closet. Building support areas include vestibules, main lobby, corridors, storage rooms, facility maintenance storage room, chair storage rooms, storage closets, restrooms, locker and shower rooms, break room, lactation room, janitor’s closet, mail receiving and storage, and fire pump, mechanical, electrical, and telecommunications rooms.

The VMS building includes functional areas, such as large open work bays, tools and parts room, flammable storage room, controlled waste storage room, offices, common administration areas, and a covered canopy area for a SATS trailer. Building support areas include vestibules, corridor, restrooms, janitor’s closet, and fire pump, mechanical, electrical, and telecommunications rooms.

Major site features of the final developed project site included new roadways, providing access to the new facility from the existing local county road; parking lots for privately owned vehicles, providing 144 paved parking stalls; substantial areas for military equipment parking; a dedicated area for parking and operating a mobile kitchen trailer; dumpster enclosure for collection of facility-generated recyclables and trash; facility identification signage; large common, multi-use open spaces; and a network of sidewalks for personnel to travel between the various buildings throughout the developed property.

The new building systems for the ARC and VMS buildings consist of fire suppression sprinkler systems; plumbing systems (i.e., domestic water, sanitary sewer, and natural gas services); compressed air system; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, industrial exhaust, and radon mitigation systems; direct digital control systems; electrical power, grounding, and lighting systems; lightning protection systems; telecommunications, audio-visual, and cable television systems; fire alarm and mass notification systems; and electronic security systems, consisting of an intrusion detection system for the arms vault and a physical access control system for the ARC building.
