This project includes the design and construction of a low-rise combined dining and a 4,500-SF High Intensity Tactical Training (HITT) facility for the Aviation Combat Element (ACE) at North Ramp, Naval Support Activity (NSA) Andersen Air Force Base. The new facility will consist of reinforced concrete with building components that meet applicable Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) that can withstand Guam’s environmental conditions, including earthquakes.

The HITT portion of the facility includes a sprint track; open fitness area; equipment storage; men’s and women’s restrooms, showers and lockers; offices; space for fitness equipment and activities; and an open, covered area for one HITT locker. The dining portion of the facility will include main and snack food lines; dining areas; public restrooms; kitchen and preparation areas; as well as storage, loading dock and support areas. The entire facility will contain telecommunications infrastructure to support unclassified networks. This project will deliver Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) features that fully comply to AT/FP regulations and physical security in accordance to DoD’s Minimum Anti-Terrorism Standards for Buildings.
