Four Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facilities (TEMFs)

Fort Hood, Texas

SLA Architects was the architectural and interiors consultant on this project for the Fort Worth District US Army Corps of Engineers on the Kenall/Freese and Nichols JV team. The team completed this renovation design project for approximately 99,843 SF of the Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facilities (TEMFs).

The purpose of this project was to bring each TEMF Complex (B17047, B38053, B44012 and B26014) as close as possible to the current standard design, to make the facilities more functional to allow units to meet mission requirements, and to achieve a longer useful life for the legacy TEMF facilities. The design called for consolidation of core functions which welcomes the opportunity for additional high bay spaces to be carved out the existing bay wings. For the facilities to accommodate the new 10-ton bridge crane, a selected bay is enlarged to the standard minimum width. New high-bay building structures were designed to fit within the confines of the current facility to support the new cranes and to raise the eave height to the standard minimum.

The design utilized the findings and guidance in the TEMF Legacy Facilities Renovation Study, dated 26 February 2013, Revision 1.0 dated 6 May 2013 and DA Facilities Standardization Program, Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facilities (TEMF) Standard Design UFC 4-214-02 dated 24 March 2015. Design includes site functional requirements within the TEMF Complex footprint as described in DA Facilities Standardization Program; Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facilities (TEMF) Standard Design UFC 4-214-02 dated 24 March 2015.
