Printable Fact Sheet
Mission
The Facilities Engineering Center of Excellence is a directorate of the Air Force Civil Engineer Center, a field operating agency of the Air Force Civil Engineer. The FENCE provides centralized facility design and construction for military construction, restoration and modernization, sustainment, and military family housing. The center implements standardized designs for similar facility and infrastructure types and seeks other cost-reduction strategies such as packaging multiple single-facility requirements into "whole facility investments" and regional acquisition efforts. The Air Force Comprehensive Asset Management Plan process enables the center and installation civil engineers to improve project delivery by increasing lead times for planning and design, ensuring earlier and more effective construction awards.
Organization
The FENCE, led by a civilian chief, focuses on providing integrated facility engineering management. Primary installation support includes centralized program management and execution, military and sustainment, restoration and modernization design and construction expertise, and technical support services. The center is organized into seven divisions: technical services, housing, operating forces design and construction, mobility and support forces D&C, strategic D&C, Pacific operations and European operations.
Technical Services Division
