The combined Battery Command and B1 S1 base end station for Battery Const. #294 is located on top of the battery structure at Rugged Island. The station consists of two observation rooms, one in front of and lower than the other, and one store room located under the upper observation room. Access was via a short side entrance corridor off of the store room.

Although never backfilled, all major concrete work had been finished and the installation of internal fittings had begun prior to the time of abandonment. Interestingly, a wooden form for the upper half of a concrete DPF pedestal remains in the store room.
