KHA was responsible for design, contract documents, and contract administration for this $30M MILCON facility located on a new site on Offutt AFB. Four Directorates occupy the facility, in addition to Command and Control offices and a high-performance data center. In total, there are 77 different working groups in the building with a total employee count of 1,000. The 188,000 S.F. facility is the HQ for an agency that provides weather related products to all Army and Air Force units, world-wide. As a weather modeling and forecasting group, AFWA does extensive computer processing, using data gathered from satellite and other weather instrumentation. The building contains a SCIF, and other classified work areas. Current regulations for Anti-terrorism and Force Protection are included in the design. There is heavy COM infrastructure in this building, as well as redundancy for mechanical and electrical systems. The project achieved LEED Gold certification status, the first such building constructed by the US Air Force. The Air Force Weather Agency also won an Honor Award in the Sustainable Design Category for the 2009 USAF Design Awards Program as well as the White House Closing the Circle Award.
