A few of these functions are processing soldiers for deployment, training, briefings, and ceremonies that require a large number of people gathered.<\/p>\n<p>The project is to construct a single story Assembly Hall facility for units within the Guam Army National Guard (GUARNG).  The facility will have a total maximum authorized gross floor area of 14,406 square feet and includes space for the Family Assistance Center and Pass and ID Center.<\/p>\n<p>The project integrates sustainable strategies and features which will minimize energy consumption and conserve resources; minimize adverse effects to the environment; and improve occupant productivity, health and comfort as well as reduce the total cost of ownership of the project using a whole building, life-cycle approach.<\/p>\n<p>The Assembly Hall is the second Guam National Guard facility to meet the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-New Construction (LEED-NC) Silver rating. <strong>(PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Guam National Guard will continue to grow its facilities when it breaks ground on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":176936,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[46,55,67],"class_list":["post-176934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-ceremony","tag-health-2","tag-people"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176934\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
