Force Support Squadron Annex
Whiteman AFB, Missouri
HONOR AWARD
Facilities New Construction

---

Logical and coherent architectural and engineering features establish an ongoing commitment to flexibility for evolving mission needs. Native, low-maintenance landscape is overtly sustainable, exceeds stormwater mandates, and positively interacts with nesting bird species. Recessed building entrances comply with efficiency metrics and highlight informal architectural elements with compatible, enduring locally sourced materials.

KC-135 Maintenance Hangar
McGhee Tyson ANGB, Tennessee
HONOR AWARD
Facilities New Construction

---

Collaborative design envisions future aircraft configurations with cost-effective architectural features, structure and MEP systems. Exterior wall systems are aptly detailed to minimize weathering, corrosion and maintenance requirements while conveying a professional appearance. Creative arrangements of columns and structural elements reduce the costs of construction and fabrication, invite daylighting and convey a human scale.

KC-46A Maintenance Hangar
Travis AFB, California
MERIT AWARD
Facilities New Construction

---

Architecturally compatible and efficient multi-bay hangars and shops include a flexible volumes for KC-46, KC-10, and
C-17 aircraft. Innovative design approach reconfigures existing monitoring wells and bioreactor within the design parameters. Remarkable coordination of passive and active systems in building envelope and mechanical designs achieve a projected 45.7% life-cycle energy savings and provide an abundance of daylighting.

Medical Facilities Modernization
Edwards AFB, California
MERIT AWARD
Facilities New Construction

---

Multiple facility additions draw inspiration from the existing architectural character with functional and expressive features. Good use of building elements as wind- breaks and MEP systems as "cool" roofs creates inherent efficiency and function. Excellent positioning of new construction and shading assemblies reduce glare and thermal heat gain while relaying daylight. Adaptable interior layouts and systems harmoniously blend existing and new.

STS Ops Facility

Functional, compatible exterior wall and roof systems are consistent with IFS and respond to the local climate. Superb integrations of passive thermal mass and building envelope design with efficient active mechanical and lighting systems predict 34% reduction in energy use. Low-flow plumbing fixtures are projected to reduce water use by 43%. Open and accessible floor and roof framing readily supports changes in the facility’s mission.
