Southwest Airlines BWI Aircraft Maintenance Center Wins ENR MidAtlantic Best Airport / Transit Project

Southwest Airlines’ new state-of-the-art aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility at the Baltimore / Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport in Maryland was recently named 2025’s “Best Project” in the airport / transit category by ENR MidAtlantic.

Working in partnership with general contractor Clark Construction, the Ghafari team provided full architecture and engineering services for the 130,100 SF open bay hangar and support center. From the onset of the project, our team overcome the challenges of the physical environment, a greenfield parcel. For the complex to appropriately sit on the site, the elevation had to be reduced by 30 feet.
