Ongoing Projects
Replace Military Family Housing Units
Eielson AFB, Alaska
A four-year, four-phase design/build construction project at Eielson AFB, Alaska broke ground May 2009 and is scheduled for completion in 2012. This project will result in 349 new homes and renovation of 114 existing houses. The project is the second largest AFCEE construction project ever. The prime contractor is Lakeshore Engineering Services and Osborne Construction Company is the general contractor.
The homes will be certified in accordance with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) requirements and standards. LEED is a goal-oriented approach for building design and construction aimed at meeting green standards and best practices. The homes will have a 5-star energy efficiency rating and will be heated by an under-slab glycol radiant heating system that has been found to work very efficiently in extremely cold regions.
Considerable effort has been made to make each neighborhood distinctive. Buildings are configured with either three or four dwelling units. Each unit is offset from its adjacent units to allow for clear visual separation and individual identity. In addition, each housing unit is provided with an individual color scheme to define the unit as a separate home, further accentuating the unique quality of this community.
Amenities in the homes include solid surface countertops, laminate wood flooring, 6 panel painted molded interior doors, modern washers and driers, extra storage space, two-car garages and an arctic entry, which is a space between the front door and the living space where residents can come in out of the cold and take off their shoes and coats.
Osborne is self-performing all earthwork, site utilities, concrete work, rough carpentry and interior finishes.
