The construction of a second transient training troops barracks, which is an Army Corps of Engineers-managed project, reached 26 percent complete on Sept. 17 at Fort McCoy.
The $18.8 million barracks project was awarded to L.C. Black Constructors, which is also the contractor building the first barracks building, said Ken Green with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Resident Office at Fort McCoy.
The new contract was awarded a year ago in September 2020. The contract duration is scheduled for completion in 780 calendar days. Currently, contract completion is still scheduled for December 2022.
On Sept. 17, the overall project update showed the project is on time, said Green in an email update. The structure continuously has steel framework completed, more exterior sheathing has been placed, and more. Other work being done includes placing in steel decking, some plumbing and electrical work, putting in additional safety measures as the structure grows, and continuing work on foundation and infrastructure items.
The new buildings are four stories tall and able to house 400 people in approximately 60,000 square feet, Green said. The buildings are built with the latest in construction materials and include state-of-the-art physical security and energy-saving measures.
Large construction projects like the barracks projects also contribute to the economic impact of local communities, Fort McCoy Garrison officials said. Fort McCoy’s total economic impact for fiscal year (FY) 2020 was an estimated $1.479 billion, above the $1.184 billion reported for FY 2019. Also for FY 2020, the economic impact for the fiscal year also included $50.3 million in military construction on post.
The Fort McCoy Executive Summary, available on the installation website, www.home.army.mil/mccoy, also shows the installation makes continuous improvements to provide a plethora of training capabilities for service members.
“Throughout the last decade, Fort McCoy experienced unprecedented facility modernization, training area development and expansion, increased training and customer support capability, and improved quality-of-life opportunities,” the summary states. “From unmanned aerial vehicles, to urban training facilities, to live-fire ranges and virtual-training environments, Fort McCoy is prepared to meet the training needs of the Army in the 21st century.”
