The Wichita Readiness Center sits on 45 acres and consists of 121,924 square feet of secure and non-secure, open and private offices, classrooms, assembly hall, training simulator and is home to the 287th Sustainment Brigade. The facility is immediately adjacent to a rail line. The facility boasts abundant natural light while maintaining security required for a National Guard facility. A 140 well geothermal field serves the facility for ground source heat pumps throughout.
The Wichita Readiness Center is certified LEED Gold and designed to comply with ATFP standards. While quantitative space requirements identified by the National Guard Bureau formed the basis that the building was designed around, significant development went into understanding the local conditions, restraints and potential future development on site. The design explored multiple building configurations, two story and single level schemes as well as open office areas verse traditional private offices.
