This facility for the Idaho Army
National Guard at Gowen Field consisted of the
construction of a single-story, 60,000 square foot
combination hangar, shop and office building. The
project also incorporated a flight simulator to the
existing AASF building that was also on site.
The building is a combination of concrete block
with a brick veneer and an exterior insulating
finish system (EIFS), with the single ply roof being
supported by clear span open web steel joists. The
site work consisted of the demolition, the
construction of a 675,000 foot taxiway, approaches,
and tanker truck parking. An access road was also
built, as well as vehicle parking areas and
extensive landscaping which incorporated sight
lighting and other safety features. |

This building is a 70,000 square
foot C-130 hangar with attached maintenance and
instrument shop. A key feature is the huge Megadoor
hangar door which is 140 feet wide by 45 feet high.
This is a traditional design-bid-build project which
required meeting exacting owner needs and
specifications while addressing a complicated
structure and site work package. The Owner’s needs
and the project challenges were successfully
integrated into the final implementation of the
project. |

This design-build project was a
collaborative effort between CNI, G.D. Longwell
Architects, and JUB Engineering. The Hangar facility and
adjacent offices were built for the Panhandle Area
Council and is currently leased to Empire Airlines.
Through the use of a lightweight Vertical Lift Door
System, the hangar can allow entry for up to a 737 and a
smaller aircraft simultaneously. The hangar building has
several skylights and windows to allow employees to work
by natural light and has a maintenance friendly epoxy
coated slip resistant flooring system to help promote a
safe work environment.
The adjacent office building is designed to address
the areas vernacular style by the use of heavy timbers,
stone, multiple roof dormers, and other feature
elements. The office area is set up to use open plan
systems furniture and emphasizes the use of natural
light and ease of interior circulation. |
