GLMV provided architectural design services for this new structure, which provides a secure interface between landside and airside shipping activities for up to ten tenants with varying space needs. Provisions for office and storage type space are provided for each tenant.
The air cargo building is approximately 48,000 square feet with provisions for expansion to the south. An exterior canopy is incorporated on the landside face of the building to provide weather protection for exterior operations. The high-bay component of the building has an interior clear height of 24 feet, and the low-bay component of the building has a minimum interior clear height of 14 feet. The lower height accommodates sightline requirements from the control tower to the end of the taxiway.

We’ve worked with Spirit AeroSystems and its predecessor, The Boeing Company, designing facilities to manufacture the company’s 737, 777, and 787, as well as to repair 747 aircraft – including Air Force One. We began our relationship as a Preferred Partner and have grown alongside each other for nearly 20 years.
What began with the expertise of a single aviation architect has grown into a full-service team serving the leading designer and manufacturer of light and midsize business jets, utility turboprops, and single-engine aircraft. Working together for over 25 years, we’ve designed facilities ranging from administration to high-tech testing facilities for this homegrown, internationally reaching company.
