Modular Building Completed for Temporary Flying Squadron Facility

A 17,284-square-foot Temporary Flying Squadron Facility for the 33d Flying Training Squadron at Vance Air Force Base in Enid, Oklahoma is complete. Ramtech Building Systems served as Design-Build firm on the project.

The single-story modular building complex will be used for pilot training as part of a program aimed at increasing the graduation rate to address the shortage of pilots that exists within the U.S. Air Force. Ramtech worked with the 71st Mission Support Group and ASRCC, Vance AFB’s Base Operations Support contractor, to develop the project. The L-shaped relocatable modular building provides space for eight training classrooms, 15 offices, four operations rooms, a squadron briefing room, conference room and a reception area.

The facility’s exterior was designed with R-Panel metal siding and a TPO membrane roof. The interior utilizes vinyl covered gypsum on the walls and a combination of carpet tiles, vinyl composition tile and sheet vinyl for the flooring. The heating and cooling of the facility is accommodated by 14 exterior wall-mounted, ducted air-conditioners. As part of the Design-Build contract, Ramtech was responsible for providing all of the office and classroom furniture throughout the building along with the site development including the building pad, the extension and connection of all utilities and the fire sprinkler and alarm systems.
