    Contractors work on a new $27.3 million transient training troops barracks project, known as the Fort McCoy East Barracks Project, is shown on Dec. 2, 2024, at Fort McCoy, Wis.

    Contractors began in May 2024 getting the site set up for the fourth transient training troops barracks project at Fort McCoy, which was awarded in February 2024 to L.S. Black Constructors, LLC, for approximately $27.3 million.

    L.S. Black Constructors is a familiar name in the barracks construction history at Fort McCoy, having built the first two of the 60,000-square-foot transient training troops barracks on post.

    They also recently built the new brigade headquarters building located in the same block as the barracks buildings.

    The exact contract amount for the project was $27,287,735.

    In the award announcement, it states it was “for the construction of the barracks, which will provide housing for enlisted service members undergoing training at the installation.”

    The building will be able to house up to 400 people and will be more than 60,000 square feet.

    This project is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

    Fort McCoy’s motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.” Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.

    The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
