A view of a new multi-million dollar transient troop training barracks is shown April 5, 2022, at Fort McCoy, Wis. Contractor L.S. Black Constructors was awarded a $20.6 million contract to build the barracks in September 2019. On April 1, 2022, the barracks was turned over from the contractor to the Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works. The barracks is different than the traditional World War II-era barracks that are located throughout the installation’s cantonment area. This new building is four stories and is able to house 400 people in approximately 60,000 square feet. The project also was the first of eight new buildings planned for the entire 1600 block at Fort McCoy. The plan is to build three more barracks with the same specifications, three 20,000-square-foot brigade headquarters buildings, and one 160-room officer quarters. This was an Army Corps of Engineers-managed project. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T. Sturkol, Public Affairs Office, Fort McCoy, Wis.)
