Elmira Corning Regional Airport
Scope/Solutions
Elmira Corning Regional Airport undertook a major modernization and expansion project to enlarge the terminal, add more parking and food/retail options, construct a new jet bridge, and upgrade the passenger experience. SGH consulted on the building enclosure design for the new addition.
SGH consulted on the design of the stone veneer and mesh wall systems along with the full-height, curved glass walls that offer travelers views of a central courtyard. Highlights of our work include:
- Performing structural analyses to evaluate design concepts for the large lites of full-height, curved glass
- Researching fabricators to advise the team on market availability and capabilities
- Recommending stone and mesh wall materials and developing details to integrate them with the surrounding facades
- Consulting on the glass walls and their transitions to other building enclosure systems, including a metal panel band at the roof and adjacent masonry cladding
- Developing details to integrate the new assemblies with the existing
- Providing construction phase services, including reviewing contractor submittals, visiting the site to observe ongoing construction, and helping the contractor address field conditions
