Basic Combat Training Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing

AHBL delivered comprehensive civil engineering, structural engineering, landscape architecture, and land surveying services for a design-build project comprising four three-story buildings totaling approximately 109,000 square feet. The facilities, built to support 324 soldiers, were designed for a 50-year lifespan and targeted LEED Silver certification. The structures featured structural steel floors and insulated concrete form shear walls to enhance energy efficiency. Civil engineering site development included utilities and connections for lighting, paving, walkways, curbs, storm drainage, signage, and information systems. Utility connections included domestic water, fire protection water, sanitary sewer, gas, power, and communication lines. Structural engineers incorporated progressive collapse design and used Building Information Modeling software for clash detection and improved 3D design coordination. Landscape design emphasized low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plantings integrated into parking areas, courtyards, and the broader base campus.
