Army National Guard Readiness Center Addition

The new facility includes a specially designed multi-story Joint Headquarters administrative building addition and a new multi-story parking facility. The addition will have features similar to the existing facility—mechanical, electrical, and communication equipment, emergency power generator and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) backup; special administrative areas within sensitive compartmented information facilities (SCIFs) and telecommunication center; joint operations center, general officer suites, auditorium, conference, and training rooms. Supporting facilities include access roads; security fencing and sidewalks. Physical security measures will be incorporated into design including maximum feasible standoff distance, internal bracing to prevent progressive collapse, blast walls, berms, heavy landscaping, and bollards to prevent access when standoff distances cannot be maintained. The facility is expected to achieve a LEED certification level of Silver.
