Description:
The primary framing system for the Atlantic Coast hangar is
different than the typical hangar building in that the primary
frames span from the front to the back of the building. The truss roof beams bear on columns in the rear of the hangar
and are supported by a supertruss which spans over the hangar door in the front of the building.
The 400' wide building accommodates a hangar door opening
of 360' with a support column in the center. The hangar door
consists of six (6) 60' wide x 28' tall motor-operated, bi-parting door leaves.
The single story office, shop and dock space all slope away from the hangar with perimeter parapets. Products used include a standing seam metal roof and custom colored (Dulles Gray) fluted metal wall panels.
