GLMV designed this 2-story, 89,000-square-foot facility for Airbus and Wichita State University. Housing 400 aviation structural engineers, this Class A office building is a private/public collaboration that brings real-world opportunities to a University campus. This leading-edge experiential education not only provides students with additional on-the-job training and internship options, it also provides employers front-row access to young talent.
Many design features have been incorporated to encourage collaboration, including an open office layout with low-height workstations and breakout areas. Other features include high ceilings, a spacious lobby that spans the length of the building, and generous use of daylighting through ribbon windows, dual glass entries, and skylights. A wide corridor on the main level also entices students traveling across campus to pass through the building.

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.
We’ve helped to keep the Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, formerly Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, flying high since our relationship first began three decades ago. Recently, GLMV was associate architect for the new terminal building. The design was coordinated with an update of the airport’s master plan, required by the Federal Aviation Administration.
