CUSTOMER SERVICE BUILDING, BWI AIRPORT, LINTHICUM, MARYLAND A new 50,000 square foot Consolidated Car Rental Facility and one of the first in the U.S. to utilize an innovative “mall” approach to car rental. MIMAR PONTE MELLOR assisted Michael Baker in developing the design and production of the construction documents. Additional supporting structures include: A 6,000 – space parking garage, maintenance facilities and a car wash.
MIMAR/ Baker planned and designed The Customer Service Building, a 50,000 SF sized facility designed for 2020, with a central atrium for a one stop shuttle. Rental car counters are distributed “radially” around the lobby in a “mini-mall” concept for parity. The project creates a multi-agency Customer Service Building that affords parity between the respective agencies with regard to customer service and convenience. The primary design concept is building efficiency and customer-friendliness; efficiency of travel and maximizing comfort from the passenger loading zones to the customer agency service space to the ready/return.

MIMAR PONTE MELLOR worked closely with the City of Manassas Architectural Review Board for approval of the design concept. The building contains retail space on the first level and office space on levels two through four. This project is the second office building in downtown Manassas.
PLANNING
MIMAR PONTE MELLOR delivered full service architectural and engineering design and construction administration services for the new Grant Plaza office building located in the center of the historic district in the City of Manassas, Virginia. Opened in the spring of 2009, the highly detailed, traditionally inspired brick façade is a welcome addition to the historic fabric of the old blocks near the County Courthouse. The project brought together two small city land parcels to form a solid city corner lot.The architecture expresses the corner boldly, with a partial rotunda, cornice and detailed ironwork reminiscent of building from the late 1800s/early 1900s that make up some of the older city core.

QUALITY THROUGH EXPERIENCE
MIMAR PONTE MELLOR GRAPHIC DESIGNERS The Orange/Blue Line required an extremely quick turnaround which MIMAR PONTE MELLOR accommodated. We introduced new concept signs with destination information for elevators. We upgraded all signage for 16 stations from StadiumArmory to Crystal City. We coordinated old sign demolition and new sign construction and placement. We delivered temporary covers that integrate current system and signage to prepare passengers for new Silver Line. We c o m p l e t e d all r e quested work on time and on budget including c o n s t r u c t i o n management.

The addition of the Silver Line to the Orange/Blue stations from Rosslyn station to Largo Town Center required additional design services to create methods not previously used to add a third destination on all signs. Additional wayfinding signs were developed to identify which streets are at each exit.
