LAKEHURST – Army Reserve’s 99th Regional Support Command had an Army Reserve Center groundbreaking at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.
This new Army Reserve Center is scheduled to be home to approximately 600 soldiers from 15 Army Reserve units and detachments that are currently occupying a dozen facilities on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.
The 87,000 square foot training center will offer the latest in training and administrative support resources to include classrooms, a learning center, library, storage cages and a weapons simulator.
The project will be certified LEED Silver, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, allowing the Army Reserve to reduce its impact on the environment while at the same time saving taxpayer money.
The $20 million project, which was awarded to Boro Construction of Marlton, represents the next step toward ensuring that America’s Army Reserve remain the most capable, combat-ready and lethal federal reserve force in the history of the nation.
The base broke ground on the project on March 18.
