The Air Force Material Command awarded a Design-Construction Award to the design team of the Design/Build Command and Control Test Operations Facility Project located at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Schmidt Consulting Group, Inc. provided Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, and Communications design services for $14 million project.

This project consists of a two-story, 66,000 square foot facility dedicated to Command and Control Test Operations. The building consolidated the 46th TS's facilities which were previously scattered across several buildings.

The new facility provided an electronics testing laboratory, as well as administrative support areas for each of the 46th TS user groups. In addition, a multi-purpose auditorium, conference rooms, and building support functions were included.

A significant portion of the facility contains "classified" areas that required an intricate Communications system design. Access control door/hardware systems were provided to control access to the classified areas and an instruction detection system (IDS) was implemented for detection and alarm purposes. Approximately 80% of the building contains a raised access floor system. Unique electrical power systems were required in order to provide 208Y/120 volt, 3 phase, 400 hertz electrical power and 28 volt DC power distribution.
