The Army broke ground on the Lawrence Joel Medical/ Dental Clinic (Building 125) on April 3, 1995, the same day that ground was broken for the USARC Command and Control Building. Thirteen buildings once part of the World War II-era G.U. Clinic were demolished to make way for the new facility. The 74,451 square foot complex was completed in 1998.78 The Audie Murphy Barracks and Headquarters Complex at Fort McPherson opened in October 1997. A departure from traditional barracks in which large groups of soldiers bunked together in a common area, the modern Audie Murphy Barracks (Buildings 475-477) provided single and double occupancy rooms for soldiers, each of which featured a dedicated bathroom and closet. The Audie Murphy Company Operations area (Buildings 480-483) northeast of the barracks was eventually occupied by three headquarters command companies. Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC) for Third U.S. Army occupied a dedicated Audie Murphy Battalion Headquarters (Building 478) southeast of the barracks.79
