To accomplish the design and construction of the new 25,054 square-foot facility, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fort Worth District formed a partnership between the USACE, TSA Training Team at Lackland Air Force Base, and the Joint Base San Antonio Civil Engineering Team. Garver worked to provide a space designed to support the partnership’s mission: to train and certify highly effective explosives detection canine teams.
The Canine Training Center was designed with sustainability in mind. Through the selection of some of the most energy-efficient, state-of-the-art water fixtures currently manufactured, water use in the facility was reduced by approximately 48% in contrast to comparable facilities. Due to the hot Texas sun, a holistically aware native and drought-tolerant plant palette and an efficient irrigation system were integrated, reducing landscape water use by over 99%.
