Joint Services Lodging Facility, Phase IIShook RJE, a joint venture company, recently was awarded their first federal project: the construction of a joint services lodging facility at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station in Vienna, Ohio. Administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District, this $8.8 million construction project will seek to obtain LEED Silver certification. Originally built in 1953, the existing structure houses 76 rooms, 65 of which are used for double occupancy. The new three-story facility will replace the existing structure, providing a total of 338 lodging rooms required to meet current base and joint use (Naval and Marine Reserves) requirements. Designed as a “campus” setting, the new structure will provide aesthetically pleasing and functional facilities while maximizing force protection opportunities. Shook Construction and Raymond Jackson Enterprises have formed a Mentor-Protégé Joint Venture through the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program. This unique joint venture provides RJ Enterprises the benefits of Shook’s enhanced capacity, resources and past experience when pursuing both public and private projects. |
