A second, new, transient training troops barracks is shown Sept. 12, 2023, with a rainbow in the background at Fort McCoy, Wis. The $18.8 million contract to building this 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 new 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 barracks is different than the traditional barracks located throughout the installation. This new building is four stories and able to 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 managed the project. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T. Sturkol, Public Affairs Office, Fort McCoy, Wis.)
