Air Force Working on Major Renovations to Run-Down Dorms on Guam
Aug. 26, 2025 | By Rachel S. Cohen
Andersen Air Force Base on Guam will make major renovations to some of its dilapidated dorms for the first time since 1999 after a government watchdog group and Navy officials criticized them for having “clearly unacceptable living conditions.”
The Air Force has awarded a pair of contracts, together worth $71 million, to fund the overhaul of the Palau and Rota dorms, base officials said in an Aug. 26 Facebook post. California-based Sea-Pac Engineering will take on both projects.
“This morning, [36th Wing Commander Col. Dan] Cooley rang the bell to celebrate the contracts awarded to dorm renovations,” the base wrote. “Today’s ceremony marks the start of real, tangible improvements to our unaccompanied living spaces. We look forward to breaking ground and creating better homes.”
The investments come after a May report from the nonprofit Project on Government Oversight detailing the troubled state of Andersen’s barracks.
