Office Buildings - ARMED FORCES RESERVE CENTER
ARMED FORCES RESERVE CENTER Project Overview
The Armed Forces Reserve Center is a three story building with 220,000 sf of space on 35 acres of Dobbins Air Force Base in Marietta. This facility houses the Army National Guard, Air National Guard, and Georgia State Department of Defense. The new building provides a multitude of services including a full service kitchen, an 8,000 sf assembly hall, acoustically engineered band rehearsal rooms, joint operations control center, training classrooms, recruiting office, and approximately 130,000 sf of new office space. The building is constructed of a structural steel frame with CMU and metal stud exterior wall framing. The building veneer is a combination of brick, EIFS, and storefront. It has both single ply and standing seam roofing systems. The front entrance to the building is flanked with a 100 foot granite memorial wall honoring the National Guard. The new memorial includes a water feature, plaque pedestals, light posts, benches, and is comfortably shaded with the original oak trees left on the property during construction.
The project is aiming at a LEED Silver certification.
