NACAIR Hangar-Office

In May 2005, H. Bradford Green Architect Inc. was engaged to design the new Hangar/ Office facility for NACAIR to be constructed at the Thunder Bay International Airport.

This 19,560 sq. ft. facility consists of 15, 570 sq. ft. of hangar space and 10,2120 sq. ft. of office space over 3 floors. The third floor of the office area was cantilevered approximately 14 feet into the hangar space to increase the floor area without introducing undesirable obstructions in the hangar floor area.

Composite panels with an aggregate finish were utilized to accent the exterior columns and stair tower/elevator shaft on the exterior facade of the metal clad pre-engineered building. Two continuous exterior canopies combined with continuous glazing bands incorporating spandrel panels on each floor level also contribute to breaking up the mass of the building facade in the office portion of the building.
