Townsend Hall is currently occupied by the Army/American Council on Education Registry, MWR and SVCS School Age Programs for gymnastics, dance and music studios, arts and crafts and the SKE contractor office for on-post maintenance services. The existing structure encompasses an area of 42,000 SF which is divided into three connecting annexes on one floor and basement. BDY is teamed with GPW & Associates, LLC to provide design services.
