GULFSTREAM SERVICE

Center East Phase Ii

Savannah, GA

165,000 sf

Little was retained by Gulfstream to design Phase II of a fueled aircraft service center and hangar of concrete and structural steel framing with all necessary amenities including hangar areas for aircraft repair, and ancillary hangar support such as service operations, ground support equipment, and building utility areas. Also in the scope of work were site improvements including the aircraft apron, fuel truck containment areas, and hazmat storage. Other site improvements include way finding, security, site lighting and fencing, extended customer and employee parking, and landscaping.

Service Center East Phase II, like Phase I is a highly complex facility with unique technical requirements. The facility will maximize throughput and operational efficiency.

This facility features a high volume clear span space with large door openings, exhaust removal, and support spaces for equipment storage, PPE, high-expansion foam storage and collection, and decontamination. Within the service support areas are open plan work areas, meeting rooms, locker rooms and material storage and supply. Phase II connects directly to the customer service tower designed and constructed as part of Phase I.

The construction of this building required that the miscellaneous vacant service buildings be demolished. All areas of the building are key card access only, along with a total building video security system ensuring that visitors do not have access to secure spaces.

Phase II is anticipated to be LEED Silver and is designed with the goal of supporting Gulfstream in ensuring world class customer and technical support while providing an unparalleled customer experience through a well designed Service Center.
