This project involved the complete design-build construction of a new one-story, 29,195 SF Air Battle Manager Simulator Facility.
The facility includes administrative offices, classrooms, briefing rooms, an auditorium, break room, restrooms, and secure simulator bays, along with Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) perimeter wall assemblies to support classified training operations. The facility supports both classified and unclassified training for up to 60 students and provides operational and administrative space for approximately 50 staff members.

The project included comprehensive site development and supporting infrastructure, including reconfiguration and extension of existing utilities, grading and drainage improvements, and construction of a new asphalt parking area with concrete curbing, sidewalks, and landscaping.

The facility incorporated complex building systems including chillers, boilers, multiple air handling units, dedicated outside air units, CRAC units serving simulator environments, and BACnet-compatible direct digital controls.
Additional building systems included a wet-pipe fire protection system, integrated fire alarm and mass notification system, and extensive electrical infrastructure including a 1000A main distribution panel, multiple distribution panels, UPS
systems, emergency backup power, and lightning protection.

Specialized simulator infrastructure included acoustical wall panels, resilient access flooring, Class A finish assemblies, audiovisual infrastructure, telecommunications cabling, and secure access control systems.

The facility was constructed in compliance with UFC requirements and incorporated Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (ATFP) measures, while also meeting the highvelocity wind design requirements of the Florida Building Code.
