• Organized for full access to aircraft ramp. Customer lobby/atrium with views of runway.
• By nature, pre-engineered buildings use light steel manufactured components. They are economical and uninspired. The solution is high-tech, like the aircraft served. Horizontal ribbed siding connects the disparate parts. Tilting steel and glass surfaces and curving penthouses break the Butler Building mold.
• The entrances are emphasized with raked, overhanging canopies and long compression struts. The west entry canopy furthers the aircraft imagery with a folded, stainless steel, wing-like form.
• The exterior skin is heavily insulated. Windows are dual pane, using laminated glass and different thicknesses. Two atriums serve as "sound locks" and bring daylight to interior offices.
