The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, is modernizing Building 900 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, a historic structure built in 1939. The project transforms the 43,000-square-foot building into compliant enlisted housing, featuring private bedrooms, bathrooms, and shared kitchens. Structural upgrades include advanced systems for heating, ventilation, fire safety, and seismic resilience. Engineers employ progressive collapse design and shotcrete to reinforce the building against tornadoes and earthquakes. The project preserves the historic exterior while enhancing interior spaces and safety protocols. Work involves retrofitting foundations, reinforcing walls with steel and carbon fiber, and securing roof trusses. The modernization aligns with the Corps’ mission to deliver resilient, contemporary facilities for military readiness.
