DuPage Airport Authority | Hangar Addition
Located 29 miles west of downtown Chicago, what would eventually become the DuPage Airport started as just a grass strip used by barnstormers. In 1941, the US Navy requisitioned the airport and began training pilots for the war effort. The post-war boom saw a lot of regional growth, and the airport reflected it by adding an east-west runway and 5-story control tower. By the late 1970s, the DuPage Airport was designated a reliever airport for general aviation aircraft, and the airport began expansion plans to accommodate the increased traffic. In early 2000, the Airport engaged Patrick to design the expansion of a 48,000-square-foot, two-bay hangar, identical in size and appearance to the existing hangar. Other major building components included uni-directional hangar doors and mechanical/electrical building systems matching those within the existing hangar. Various disciplines contributed to this effort, including survey, geotechnical engineering, structural design, and civil engineering services in connection with a design/build construction delivery approach.
