CDP transforming building into functional storage space

In March, the Center for Domestic Preparedness began to transform an underutilized building on its campus into functional storage space.

The warehouse in the CDP’s Advanced Responder Training Complex originally served as a dining facility on the former Fort McClellan.

Since 1998, when McClellan closed and the CDP was created, the building has been used to store bulk training material and equipment. However, numerous interior walls and lack of a door large enough for a forklift, limited its use.

According to the CDP’s Facility Operations team, the renovation project will remove almost all interior walls in the building and a roll-up door for a forklift will be installed.

The project is part of an expansive construction, renovation, and upgrade effort that will result in improvements to the hot water system at the CDP’s Chemical, Ordnance, Biological and Radiological Training Facility, the repaving of two parking lots, and new flooring in buildings across campus.
