MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. -- (From left to right) Colonel Osamah Jammal, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton Chief of Staff; Oscar Villa Franca, owner of Dimension Construction; Navy Cmdr. Scott King, resident officer-in-charge of construction; CWO4 Brian Mitchell, postal director and Donald Darling, former postal director; all cut a ceremonial ribbon marking the grand opening of the base’s new Mail Processing Facility, March 10.
The structure achieved a Self-Certified Gold LEED rating due to its ability to reduce energy consumption by more than 30 percent. The building will replace the old postal location, building 1674, and will serve as the main Post Office for all of Camp Pendleton.
The facility, which cost more than $6.7 million to complete, has new parking lots, extensive landscaping, reinforced concrete masonry unit block construction, reinforced foundation and floors, and a standing seam metal roof.
