D2C worked closely with Buckley Air Force Base and multiple user groups to complete an interior renovation while preserving the historical characteristics of the post-World War II aircraft hangar built in 1956. D2C helped the historic facility prepare for the 21st century including Base Operations, Air Passenger Terminal, Load Crew Training, Mission Training, administrative spaces, conference areas and classrooms, and overall furniture design. This facility targeted LEED Silver certification through a series of sustainable enhancements that incorporated photovoltaics, a geothermal / geo-exchange system, an energy recovery unit, and daylighting to make the building more operationally efficient as it continues its mission well into the future.

“I was amazed during the design charrette how easily we were able to bring so many different perspectives and personalities together. The design team’s guidance was excellent because they understood our users and their needs.”
– Lt. Col. Thomas Nefe, USAF, Assistant Base Civil Engineer with the 140th Civil Engineer Squadron and project manager for the rehabilitation of Building 909.
