A second new transient training troops barracks is shown April 3, 2023, at Fort McCoy, Wis., just a couple days after it was listed as 100 percent complete and turned over from the Army Corps of Engineers and the contractor to the Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works. The $18.8 million project was awarded to L.S. Black Constructors, which is the contractor who built the first barracks building at Fort McCoy, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Resident Office at Fort McCoy. The contract was awarded Sept. 29, 2020, and the notice to proceed was issued Oct. 28, 2020. The contract duration was scheduled for completion in 780 calendar days. The majority of the work of this barracks project was completed by December 2022. Some delay was just waiting for furniture to arrive to turn it over, for example. This barracks is different than the traditional barracks located throughout the installation that is more than 80 years old. This new building is four stories and can house 400 people in approximately 60,000 square feet. The building is built with the latest in construction materials and includes state-of-the-art physical security and energy-saving measures. The project also is part of the Fort McCoy Master Plan that looks at continuously upgrading the installation’s infrastructure to be prepared for the future. The Army Corps of Engineers has managed both barracks projects at Fort McCoy and is also managing an ongoing brigade headquarters project on the post. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
