New accommodation has been delivered at Trenchard Lines, Upavon, in Wiltshire, where 200 single en suite bedspaces are being provided for junior ranks, senior ranks and officers across separate Single Living Accommodation blocks, according to a Defence Infrastructure Organisation press release published on 17 September 2026. A further 21 officer bedspaces are being delivered through refurbishment of Lord House, a heritage building next to the Officers' Mess.
The first two completed blocks have been handed over, providing 82 bedspaces for junior ranks. The modular buildings include utilities, drying rooms, kitchens and furnished communal space, along with solar panels and energy management systems. Two more blocks are under construction, intended to provide 69 bedspaces for senior ranks and 49 for officers.
The project is funded under the Army's SLA Programme and delivered by the DIO, contracting to Reds10 and Arcadis. At the formal opening, Brigadier Grant Kerr, the Army's Head of Infrastructure Plans, said the investment improves the lives of personnel and supports operational readiness. Construction of all new and refurbished infrastructure at Upavon was scheduled to complete next year, the release said.
