Iowa Army National Guard Readiness Center
Opus Chosen by Army National Guard for a Third Project: Readiness Center in Davenport
When they needed to replace outdated facilities, the Iowa National Guard turned to our Client Direct Services group to design and construct its third project for the Army National Guard.
Located on 37 acres of land in Davenport, the 87,000-square-foot Readiness Center accommodates soldiers completing weekend trainings and for minimal occupancy throughout the week. The one-story, stand-alone facility includes a drill hall, offices, classrooms, a kitchen, a physical fitness center and vehicle work bays. We designed the building to meet anti-terrorism and force protection requirements, such as blast-resistant windows and considerations for standoff distances.
With our unique integrated design-build model, we were able to offer exceptional value to clients, ultimately leading to repeat clients like the Army National Guard.
