Scope Of Work
The Warrior in Transition Barracks is a 139,780-square-foot, three-story building that houses 232 personnel. The facility is designed to care for and rehabilitate injured soldiers returning from duty in a therapeutic environment, accommodating a wide range of temporary and permanent disabilities. Each living ‘’module’’ consists of two separate bedrooms and a kitchenette area. Living units are supported by common areas to aid recovering soldiers in the activities of daily life, similar to how senior care facilities accommodate such needs.
At the central core, the design includes a prominent main entrance, lobby, elevator and multi-purpose room. The barracks consist of two unit types: one with private bathrooms and one with shared bathrooms. A variety of plumbing fixtures, toilet accessories, mirrors, and special signage were also included. Because of the timing of some of the contractual requirements between the utility providers and the government, Sundt had to re-sequence some of our work to minimize any possible delays. The timing of the process was made even more difficult because utility lines had to be relocated prior to Sundt being able to start site grading work.
