The Department of Defense awarded two contracts totaling over $36 million for renovations, repairs, and revitalizations to barracks on Fort Bragg Sept. 28, with a future contract for demolitions still pending. These contracts are part of the accelerated approved funding and will focus on the volar-style barracks, built in the 1970s, that were identified as unsustainable back in early August.

By: FEDweek StaffSome Volar-style barracks at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, are slated for long-overdue renovation. The Army announced that the project affects facilities that were built in the 1970s and deemed unsustainable. The post is now working to relocate the 1,100 soldiers who live in the substandard facilities while the work takes place. Efforts will focus on keeping units housed together.
“We wanted to maintain some degree of unit integrity, at least at the squad level or above,” said Brian Adams, director of the post’s plans, training, mobilization and security.
Future plans would take into consideration the demolition and replacement of some barracks facilities that are considered beyond repair.
