Army plans smart barracks pilot on Fort Benning
FORT BENNING Imagine a barracks room having USB ports and working thermostats. That’s what is slated for the $4.4 million Smart Barracks Initiative on Kelley Hill.
A modernization project for Building 9164 kicks off in April. This is an Army pilot program, said Geoff Ray, a mechanical engineer with Fort Benning’s Directorate of Public Works’ Operations and Maintenance Division. The agencies working with Army Materiel Command on this pilot include Installation Management Command and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
