Construction is underway on a new £11m welfare centre to support recruits at the Army Training Centre (ATC) in Pirbright, Surrey.

ATC Pirbright delivers the Army’s Phase 1 Training, a 14-week course that prepares adult recruits for their Initial Trade Training, where they learn the specific skills for their chosen Army trade. The new Alexander Barracks Soldiers Centre (ABSC), which is due for completion in 2024, will provide centralised welfare support to these soldiers, establishing a single bespoke hub that replaces the current welfare facilities spread across the site.
