The refurbishment scheme is part of the Defence Infrastructure Organisation鈥檚 Army Basing Programme (ABP), providing the facilities the British Army needs to live, work and train in the UK as it returns from Germany and rebases across the UK.
The Catterick redevelopment will include new officers鈥� and junior ranks鈥� single living accommodation, a senior non-commissioned officers鈥� mess, armoury, squadron offices, quartermaster department and a multi-use games area, as well as a comprehensive refurbishment including the listed Sandhurst block at Bourlon Barracks.
