Bolduc said digital training is already taking place on Fort Carson, but is spread out in buildings throughout the post. “This campus will consolidate resources and make things more efficient,” he said. Matthew Ellis, a representative from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Omaha, Neb.), said the 83,000-square-foot building will be built to meet the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold standards and will include a 20,000-square-foot solar array field that will provide power to the campus. In addition to the main building, construction for 16 smaller buildings is also planned. “This is the third training center (of its kind) constructed in the Army,” said Ellis, addressing the crowd. “It takes many years and a diverse team to make this happen.” With construction continuing until June 2013 and a projected occupancy date of December 2013, troops will continue to train at existing facilities.

Fifteen days later the Paralympic Games will also be held in London — Aug. 29-Sept.9. There will be 26 sports in the London Olympics, but baseball and softball have been dropped from the summer program. This is the third time London hosts the Olympics, having hosted in 1908 and 1948. London made the cut in 2005, winning over Moscow, New York City, Paris and Madrid. Television viewers will see some familiar venues such as Wembley Stadium and Wimbledon. The United States had the highest number of medals in the 2008 Olympics with a total of 110 medals. China was second, with 100, followed by Russia with 72, great Britain with 47 and Australia had 46. Fans can begin getting ready for the summer Olympics by taking a free tour of the National Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and visiting the Team USA Shop in the Visitor Center building. The Olympic Training Center opened in 1977 on the site formerly occupied by Ent Air Force Base, which opened during World War II.

Free tours are available 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Saturday. Feb. 3, 2012 — MOUNTAINEER 31 units were moved to Peterson Air Force Base. Ent Air Force Base property was returned to the city. The Olympic Committee leased the property to create a training center. In the beginning, military buildings were used to house, feed and train athletes, while construction and improvements were ongoing. The training complex occupies 37 acres and now has several state-of-the-art facilities used by athletes in training. About 500 athletes and coaches can be accommodated at the training center at one time, with a dining facility and two residence halls on site. State-of-the-art-facilities include a sports medicine and sport science center, an aquatics center and two sports centers, one that accommodates nine sports and one that accommodates 14 sports. The Olympic Shooting Center at the training center is the third largest in the world and several world records have been set there. About five blocks away from the training center, in Memorial Park, is a world-class velodrome. It has a 333.3-meter track, banked at 33 degrees and is one of the top-rated velodromes in the world. Skaters train in the Ice Hall near the Colorado Springs World Arena. Other training facilities are used by U.S. athletes — Lake Placid, N.Y., and Chula Vista, Calif. In addition to the Olympic Training Center, 12 USOC member organizations have a national headquarters on the complex and 13 other organizations have facilities in Colorado Springs. Headquarters for the U.S. Olympic Committee administration is located in downtown Colorado Springs. Tours at the Olympic Training Center are conducted from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., on the hour, Monday through Saturday. Reservations are not necessary except for groups of 10 or more. About 130,000 visitors take the tour each year. “Olympic Strength” is a larger than life depiction of four Olympic Visitors should arrive at the tour desk just inside the Visitor athletes, near the Visitor Center at the Olympic Training Center. Center about 10 minutes before the hour and ask for a tour. Although visitors can take a self-guided tour, the guided tour has a knowledgeable guide who knows history and facts about the training center and can answer questions. Tours start with a 10-minute video of the Vancouver Olympics highlights in the auditorium, then the tour guide takes the group along the Olympic path strewn with silhouettes of all sports in the Pan American games, pointing out the facilities and visiting some of the facilities. Depending on the sports in training and schedules, tour groups may be able to observe athletes in training. When the tour is finished, visitors may visit the rooftop display of the Olympic Flame. The flame is lit during the Olympic Games. The Hall of Fame is in the Visitor Center building and three Olympic torches are displayed on the wall by the exit. The Team USA shop is in the Visitor Center and is stocked with Olympic sports clothing for adults and children. Items featuring the London Games are expected to be in the shop by April 1. No refreshments are available at the Visitor Center, other than vending machines near the tour desk. A clock near the visitor center counts down the time until the 2012 Olympics. The tour desk phone number is 719-866-2538. The Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center is west of the intersection of Union Boulevard and Boulder Street, at One Olympic Plaza.
