Other amenities include ten revamped sleeping quarters, office space, a kitchen and lounge, as well as separate rooms for gear storage and training.
Griffin Electric is responsible for the installation of general power and lighting throughout the entire building, as well as a distribution system, fire alarms, and a lightning protection system.
