Bay Breeze Event Center taking shape
Structural steel is being erected for the east end of the Bay Breeze Events Center which replaces the officer and enlisted clubs and golf course clubhouse slammed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Work is about 28 percent complete on the three-story structure of nearly 66,000 square feet. It will house the golf pro shop, golf cart storage area, a ballroom, several multi-function rooms, lounges, kitchen and dining areas, game rooms and music rooms. The project required the relocation of a portion of Ploesti Drive, the golf course driving range and extensive parking and drainage alterations. June 2010 is the estimated completion date for the $26.7 million complex. (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
