The building was commissioned by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

Züblin AG , a subsidiary of STRABAG , took over the building as a subcontractor . The M + W Group was mainly responsible for planning, project management, project control and construction management up to the turnkey handover to the US Army, while Züblin carried out all structural work on its own with mostly its own staff from Thuringia and Saxony.
