EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — El Paso-based Jordan Foster Construction has been awarded the design-build contract for the new public safety training academy campus by the City of El Paso, the company announced.
The new public safety campus will be built on Global Reach Drive near El Paso International Airport.
The contract is worth $128 million, the company said.
This project, spread over 70 acres, includes a state-of-the-art police and fire training academy building; logistics building, vehicle maintenance building, apparatus storage building, shooting range, fire tower, and Hogan’s Alley for tactical simulation training.
Site amenities include an emergency vehicle operations course (EVOC) and a pad area for specialized Fire Department live training. This facility will also include advanced simulator equipment, specialized classroom training environments, physical fitness training equipment, and space for the subsequent addition of a public safety headquarters building and future training facilities.
This project will provide the City of El Paso with “best in-class training and certification facilities and the future growth capacity for their first-responders,” Jordan Foster said in a news release.
Jordan Foster Construction said it will partner with Architects Design Group out of Winter Park, Florida and locally with CDA Architects to deliver this important facility, the company said.
The current schedule anticipates project completion in early 2029.
“As El Paso’s largest and longest-standing contractor, Jordan Foster Construction brings deep community ties and a proud legacy of service to a project dedicated to supporting the first responders who keep our town and our people safe,” said Ash Kamath, vice president, Building Group, Jordan Foster Construction.
