United States Marine Corps – 4 BEQ Community Centers

Home to the Marine Corps Combat Support Services Schools (MCCSSS),which consists of four MOS (Military Occupations Specialty) producing schools, four tenant commands and the Navy’s Field Medical Training Battalion, Camp Gilbert H. Johnson is a satellite facility to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. Military Occupation Specialties such as administration, supply, logistics, finance and motor transport maintenance are trained here. Additionally, Marine Corps Water Survival Schools (MCWSS) train at this location. Convergent Technologies Design Group was asked to provide recommendations to Michael Baker Corporation for new audiovisual systems and supporting infrastructure for the Bachelor Enlisted Quarters at Camp Johnson. Assessments were made regarding the audiovisual needs of the camp, as well as the intended uses of each specific space. Recommendations were made for AV system components, including the layout of several large displays and associated loudspeaker systems. Several gaming consoles were integrated into the design. Additional recommendations were also made to specify appropriate infrastructure necessary to support these systems including wallboxes and appropriate mounting equipment, as well as provide extra space to accommodate any future growth.
