Rickenbacker Readiness Center
Constructing a State-of-the-Art Readiness Center for the Ohio Army National Guard
The Plan
The Ohio National Guard leaders began envisioning this center in 2018, as the limitations of facilities that were built in 1956 and the need for a larger, more modern space were increasingly affecting operations. When they received funding to build a new readiness center at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base, they sought a partner who could deliver a complex project with precision, efficiency and trust. Our team demonstrated deep respect for the base’s special circumstances like extra security and other red-tape conditions. With limited site access for visitors, we put clear coordination systems in place before breaking ground, establishing a stringent framework we could manage as work progressed. The new facility serves a range of functions, such as a general-purpose training bay, a high-bay garage workspace, administrative offices, secure storage areas and an arms vault. Each space came with its own set of technical and safety requirements, demanding constant coordination among stakeholders and rigorous quality control.
