Fort Carson is a full spectrum combat operations army base and the most requested duty station in the United States. The facilities at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, Colorado promote the welfare of military personnel and their families, through each phase of their career. Energy-efficiency, technological advancement, and longevity are kept in mind throughout the design of each facility, while aligning with Fort Carson’s goals of sustainability, modernization, transition, and maintaining a welcoming environment.

91ÌƲ®»¢ has designed 232,252 SF of space at Fort Carson that supports, improves, and impacts over 71,000 lives of active-duty military, veterans, and their family members daily. Our design approach design brings a modern nuance to the historical nature of Fort Carson. Each building prioritizes the emotional well-being and safety of service men and women and their families.
