New Ellington Armed Forces Complex

Four Houston companies are set to begin construction at Ellington Field next month.
SpawGlass Construction Corp. will serve as contractor for the new $48.4 million Armed Forces Reserve Complex Phase II.

Gensler & Associates Architects will provide architecture services for the project, Walter P. Moore will serve as the structural and civil engineer and Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam Inc. will provide mechanical, electrical and plumbing and fire protection services.
Construction on the second phase is scheduled to be completed by November 2010.
The design-build project consists of 10 buildings and associated site improvements required for Army Reserve, Navy, Marine Corps Reserve and National Guard support and training missions. It includes a training center building, an entry control facility, a welcome center, a battle projection center, a vehicle maintenance building, a vehicle holding shed, one heated and three unheated storage buildings.
The new AFRC could accommodate Texas National Guard units from areas including Baytown, Pasadena and Ellington Field if the state decides to relocate those National Guard units, according to the U.S. Army. For more information see: www.houstonrealtyadvisors.com or www.houstonrealtyadvisors.net
