The newly-built Gamecock Barracks for the Nuneaton EOD Troop includes an office building, a garage, a secure store and a training area.
Henry Brothers was subcontracted by Vivo, a joint venture between Equans and Serco to provide facilities management to the military, to build the barracks designed by American consultancy Tetra Tech.

The project was delivered under an army estate optimisation programme by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO).
Ian Taylor, managing director of Henry Brothers Construction, said: "Henry Brothers has been involved in a significant number of schemes across the UK, helping to upgrade and improve Ministry of Defence (MOD) sites, including several in partnership with Vivo defence services.
"We are very proud to have been involved in delivering a new home for the EOD Troop as it moves from Chilwell in Nottingham to Gamecock Barracks near Nuneaton.
"This development, which is part of the MOD's investment into the Armed Forces, will give them modern, purpose-built, secure facilities as they start a new chapter in the history of the Troop."
Warren Webster, DIO's head of major programmes and projects for the Army, said: "These impressive new facilities were crucial to allow 11 EOD and Search Regiment to operate from their new home, Gamecock Barracks.
"We’ve worked hard with our design contractors Tetra Tech and build contractors Henry Brothers, sub-contracted by Vivo, to make sure it caters for everything the Regiment's soldiers and officers need to prepare for and undertake their vital role."
The Nuneaton EOD Troop is a part of a specialist Army unit responsible for the safe handling and disposal of explosives. At its previous barracks in Nottingham, it attended over 200 callouts in 2024.
