"The renovation of the Brig is going to make the building more efficient for personnel to work in," said Don Blair, president of KMA Architecture & Engineering. "The upgrade of the Brig and addition of the Riot Gear Storage building add to Camp Pendleton's progressive expansion."

Owned by NAVFAC Southwest Division, the Brig facility, a two-story pre-trial holding/detention facility, will see updates in its roofing, electrical, lighting, HVAC, security, fire alarm, telecom and public address systems, as well as minor structural and landscape improvements. The Brig's interior renovations will include new finishes, furnishings and fixtures.

The new, one-story Riot Gear Storage building will be constructed out of CMU block and metal roofing and will include designs for architectural, interior, structural, electrical and communications features.

The KMA Team includes Don Blair, principal; Heather Mertes, project manager and Ilia Voronchihin; project architect.
