ECC Wins One of the Largest AFCEE Design-Build Task Orders in CONUS

Posted on: Friday, 9 January 2009, 16:06 CST

BURLINGAME, Calif., Jan. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Under contract with the Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE), ECC was awarded a $117 million design-build project to construct the Medical Education Training Complex (METC) Medical Instructional Facilities (MIF) Building 3 and Building 4 at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

The project, jointly supervised by AFCEE and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is one of the largest U.S. design-build task orders issued in AFCEE's history. MIF Buildings 3 and 4 encompass 420,000 square feet, and represent the largest facilities included within the entire METC. The facilities are being designed and constructed to meet LEED Silver requirements.

The entire 5-building, 700,000-square-foot METC campus will serve as the largest institution in the world dedicated to tri-services medical training and education. It will centralize Army, Navy, and Air Force basic and specialty enlisted medical training.

ECC is the prime contractor and construction manager for the project with two primary teaming partners Burns and McDonnell and Satterfield & Pontikes Construction, Inc. Burns and McDonnell, responsible for architecture and design elements on the project, will lead the design team, which includes San Antonio-based firms Rehler Vaugh & Kooney, Inc. and Jaster-Quintanilla. Satterfield & Pontikes Construction, Inc will be the general contractor.

"This is such an exciting opportunity for our team," says Manjiv S. Vohra, PE, ECC's President and CEO. "We have developed a sustainable and functionally efficient building design, which will allow us to construct a superior learning environment for our future tri-services medical professionals."

The buildings resonate with Fort Sam Houston's sense of place and history while offering vision toward its future of medical training. This fast-track project is scheduled for completion in October 2010.
