Overview

WACO Aircraft Corporation, the world’s leading manufacturer of sport biplanes, was looking to expand their operations and provide a more modern, comfortable fixed-base operator (FBO) for their private aviation clientele in the Battle Creek area.

Tailoring the Solution

Contemporary meets vintage styling.

Our team designed an 80,000 SF expansion to their existing space, which includes two new large service hangars with “vintage look” facades, a fabrication shop, engine assembly shop, restaurant, FBO, and engineering office space to accommodate for future growth.

Our design also provides a graphic wall depicting their engineering drawings, visible as customers enter from the street side and make their way up to the restaurant.
