USPS Eagle Network Hub - Mail Sort Hub

The Eagle Network Hub is the central sorting facility for the United States Postal Express and Priority Mail services.  The Building, Internal Conveyors, and Air/Land Side site work was awarded via a national competition and delivered as Design/Build Turn Key.

The project consists of 44 acres of airside apron and landside ramp flatwork.  The building contains 365,000 sf of interior sorting space, truck dock, and offices.  A unique feature is the immediate site ground control tower.  A separate maintenance structure was built on the site, along with two ground equipment canopies.

The total project cost was $62 million and was finished in 1992..  As a guaranteed contract, the delivery time for the project including design was 52 weeks.  The D/B team accomplished this in 50 weeks.  I worked as the Architectural Project Manager and designer for this project under another concern.   This project won the 1992 Indianapolis AIA Honor Award.
