Eagle Airport Snow Removal Equipment Facility

The architecture takes scale and context into careful account for this 25,800 square foot facility that houses a regional airport’s snow removal equipment fleet, office space, training room and support spaces.

Although the facility’s purpose is primarily that of a utilitarian structure, it has many
quality design features that make the project both aesthetically pleasing and very
functional. One objective for the large-scale building design was to design it in a way that it
would not compete with, or detract attention from, the main airport terminal building. The
solution was to use the smaller volume rooms to reduce the scale of the larger vehicle
storage space and to reduce the mass to a more human scale. Materials and colors were
selected to blend with the natural terrain in the distance, that serves as the backdrop to the
airport, to make the structure less conspicuous.
