Farris Engineering

This Engineers Week, Farris Engineering is proud to share that the BG Dean Mann Readiness Center in Sioux Falls, SD has received a 2026 ACEC Nebraska Engineering Excellence Merit Award.

Great engineering isn’t always visible—but its impact is.

Our team designed high-performance building systems for a 56,600 SF National Guard facility supporting training, readiness, and community use.

Key features include:
• Thermal ice storage HVAC system to reduce peak demand and improve resiliency
• LEED v4 Silver design strategies for long-term efficiency and sustainability
• Secure, mission-critical infrastructure aligned with DoD and UFC standards

Delivered within a $28M construction budget and under a compressed federal timeline, this project reflects the role engineering plays in strengthening both national defense and local communities.

We’re grateful to our partners at FEH Design and the South Dakota Department of the Military for the collaboration that made this project possible.
