Beale Air Force Base | Recce Point

 

Client: USA Department of the Air Force

Location: Beale AFB, CA

The project scope of work consists of renovating 14,000 sf of the existing Recce Point Club facility at Beale Air Force Base, as well as targeted improvements to the surrounding landscape. The current spaces are utilized as an event center, community center and Air Force (AF) club. Improvements include reconfiguration of existing spaces, replacement of ceiling and finishes, and improvements to electrical and mechanical systems. Energy efficiency improvements include a lighting retrofit and displacing electrical lighting with daylighting using tubular skylights. The project realigns the entry sequence to create a true arrival point with a common pre-event space and makes improvements to circulation throughout the Club. The heart of the facility, the event center is reconfigured to have better proportions and the existing movable wall partition system is replaced by a system with better acoustic performance and with no loss of floor plan area dedicated to storage of wall panels. The event center also features a new design concept honoring the history of aviation and the role of Beale Air Force Base in our nation’s history.
