OAKLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT RENTAL CAR CENTER location: oakland, california To accommodate planned growth and development at the Oakland International Airport, the City of Oakland, through its Port Department, relocated all on-airport RAC companies to an interim consolidated facility, situated on an airport-provided,unimproved site in the North Field area. The project was jointly funded by a loan from the Port of Oakland and by the Rental Car Industry. A $10/ day customer facility charge, as allowed by the State of California, funded the repayment of the loan. PGAL served as the prime consultant designing this facility, providing project management, architecture, engineering, and specialty consulting services.
Project components included individual, exclusive-use ready/return parking areas for 830 cars, a 15,000 SF customer service building, and multiple quick turnaround (QTA) areas.

The new Quick Turnaround Areas (QTAs) provide for 800 storage vehicles plus expansion capability for an additional 400 vehicles. In the planning and design process, PGAL and the prime consultant took advantage of a developerled solar program that generates four megawatts of available power for the airport. PGAL determined the project’s affordability based on current rental car and local construction markets, integration of sustainable design practices, and incorporation of a blast wall that provides airfield protection during high security threat levels.
BOSTON LOGAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT RENTAL CAR CENTER location: boston, massachusetts PGAL led a collaborative team and project approach for the conceptual design and environmental permitting study that informed the facility’s ultimate programming, planning, and development.

Additional program elements included multiple roadway modifications to improve and reduce roadway and terminal curb congestion, a bus access ramp supporting the two-level customer terminal, a unified common busing system for all of Logan Airport, and improved
facilities for the airport’s taxi, bus, and limousine pools. A very complex building program, this development also incorporates extensive environmental mitigation measures for greenhouse gases, energy consumption, and water quality and usage, and received LEED Gold certification, the first of its kind for an airport parking garage/rental car facility. Overall project benefits include buffering adjacent neighborhoods from airport ground transportation operations and the creation of a defined airport boundary within the residential community.

The shared and secured facility includes eight fuel positions, two car wash bays, five individual maintenance and administrative areas and storage parking for 300 cars. Aesthetically, the facility is distinct from the contemporary design of most rental car facilities as it incorporates the Spanish design influence so prominent in the area while meeting both the City of Santa Barbara’s strict aesthetic and environmental
standards and the State of California Title 24 Energy and Accessibility requirements. The project has won numerous design and sustainability awards and through the inclusion of a photovoltaic solar solution providing 100% offset of electrical usage. The project also earned LEED Gold Certification, again the first of its kind for a rental car facility. PGAL also supported the airport in meetings and negotiations with RAC Industry corporate representatives and franchise owners.

to withstand a maximum critical seismic event, or MCE. This was a specific requirement of the Airport Authority to ensure the structural integrity of critical public buildings while reducing insurance premiums and ensuring coverage. The RITC is connected to the Airport terminals via a 1200-linear-foot elevated walkway with moving sidewalks, providing an enhanced customer experience for the growing Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena market within this land-strapped area. The project also will integrate a 4-megawatt solar facility, roof mounted, that will help achieve the LEED Gold certification desired by the Airport Authority (pending).
