is overseeing this $56
million design-build military contract. T he
project consists of five
barracks that will house 780 soldiers. Each barrack,
designed for single soldiers
at Fort Riley, will include two separate bedrooms with
closets, shared kitchenette,
and bathrooms. An outdoor recreation area and
running trail are also being constructed.
This 282,500 square foot project was
designed for three additional
barracks as well as a physical fitness center and dining
facility. The Whitside
Barracks is the second project at Fort Riley awarded to
the Kansas City Division of

Designers say that the barracks have the
feel of a “quality hotel,”
providing military personnel with many at-home
comforts. The project team
includes the owner, US Army Corps of Engineers, and
architect, VOA.
