Jacobs Wins Two United States Air Force Design Awards

The Air Force Reserve Command – Consolidated Mission Complex Phase One at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia – won the Merit Award for facility design. The jury recognized the project for the team's incorporation of strong exterior elevation through vertical and horizontal design elements, translating to a testament of American heritage. They also noted the impressive two-story lobby, presenting an innovative design and showcasing Air Force Reserve Command history and heritage artifacts. The sustainable designs blended legacy with sustainability, including optimizing energy performance through daylighting, exterior and interior shading devices, water-reducing fixtures, and adjusting mechanical systems to reduce air usage.

The Distributed Common Ground Station Operations Center at Beale Air Force Base, California received the Citation Award for facility design. The jury commended the team on their column-free Operations Floor design that allowed for the flexibility of the space needed to keep pace with operational mission rhythm. They also noted the use of sustainable techniques, such as using electro-chromatic glass to achieve a 12% increase in energy efficiency beyond the industry standard. Other methods supported low-impact site development, water and energy efficiency, use of recycled and recyclable materials, indoor air quality and occupant comfort – all features that helped the facility achieve significant energy utilization and a LEED Silver Certification that is unique for this building type.

"These projects and recognition exemplify our commitment to the unique design excellence needed for these facilities to support their 24-hour critical global missions while improving the quality-of-life and reducing the stress for service members around the world," said Jacobs Federal & Environmental Solutions Senior Vice President and retired USAF Major General Tim Byers.
