Surplus dorms on Larcher demolished
A 60-year-old former permanent party dorm is down, with another close behind. Both join the removal of the old Saber Building and old Officer’s Club as part of the Air Force’s plan to demolish 20 percent of inventory by 2020. “(These) buildings are surplus facilities,” said Don Kinman, civil engineering manager for CSC Applied Technology Group. “(The dorms) were built in the ’50s and aren’t in good condition to use for any other purpose.” Building 4811 has already been removed, and work is ongoing in demolishing Building 4817, both located on the west side of Larcher Boulevard. The area left behind will remain green space. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
