Langley Transit Center opens to accommodate military personnel returning from Ebola response mission
The 633rd ABW established the Langley Transit Center in a pre-existing expeditionary training center, shown here on Nov. 4, 2014. In less than 72 hours, Langley Airmen, civilian employees and contractors quickly transformed the “bare base” buildings into a veritable “mini-city,” ready to comfortably accommodate up to 90 personnel. Base civil engineers retrofitted facilities with new heating, ventilation and air conditioning units, and upgraded plumbing capabilities, while communications Airmen and commercial internet and satellite television providers installed lines to pipe in telephone, high-speed internet and TV service for personnel to enjoy entertainment options and keep in touch with loved ones, while force support Airmen appointed the dormitories and common areas with furniture, appliances and linens to keep transit center residents comfortable.
