AHBL provided civil and structural engineering, landscape architecture, and surveying services for this 127,171 SF Readiness Center. The new Readiness Center provides administrative, operations, and specialized space to support personnel on drill weekends, including full-time staff. The two-story specially designed Readiness Center consolidates member units from separate facilities across Washington.

Structural designs incorporated the use of many military structural requirements and regulations as required per UFC standards, and additional security requirements. Designs and three-dimensional drawings were prepared using Revit to successfully implement Building Information Modeling (BIM) into this project.

AHBL surveyors conducted a surface topographic survey, and a sub-surface utility locate survey to determine existing facility conditions, utility connection points, and utility capacities for the approximate six-acre site.

Landscape plans were designed with green space surrounding the facility that meet JBLM Installation Design Guide (IDG) standards and space requirements. Special attention was also placed on preserving large trees whenever possible. This project was designed to achieve LEED Silver.
