Bradley/Nason JV Breaks Ground at Aberdeen

New Non-Medical Chemical & Biological Defense Facility Is Part of the BRAC Relocation Program

The Bradley/Nason JV recently joined the US Army Corps of Engineers, the US Army, and the US Air Force in celebrating the groundbreaking for the new Non-Medical Chemical & Biological Defense Facility at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Remarks were made by several military offices, including Brigadier General Jess A. Scarbrough, Joint Program Officer for Chemical and Biological Defense.

The Facility is part of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) initiative, which will provide administrative support areas for military and civilian personnel from three bases in Texas and Virginia. The three-story, 75,000 s.f. building will accommodate 360 employees when complete. State-of-the-art Department of Defense Anti-Terrorism Standards are incorporated into EwingCole’s design, which is registered for LEED Silver Certification upon its completion in early 2011.

“The Bradley/Nason and EwingCole design-build team has been working together on this project for well over a year,” said Nason President Michael B. Berardi. “The groundbreaking ceremony is the next step in making this building a reality for the military personnel who will be moving to the Aberdeen Proving Grounds.”
