ELM297/292 F-22 Squad Ops / AMU / 6-Bay Hangar

At the time of construction, the 35,000 SF six-bay hangar + three-story 49,000 SF squad ops facility was the largest hangar project within the F-22 program at Elmendorf. The hangar is a high-quality structure designed and constructed to provide a secure, functional, comfortable facility in which airmen can perform their work missions.

The project elements are a Squadron Operations section and Aircraft Maintenance Unit (AMU) section combined to support four functions: Command and Administration, Mission Planning and Briefing, Life Support Area, and Mission Support.

Project design goals emphasized strict organizational adjacencies and space requirements required for a successfully operating F-22 Squad Operations and AMU.

Additionally, the building form and use of materials had to reflect the local base architectural character and be visually congruent with the adjacent F-22 LO Maintenance Hangar.

Kumin provided A/E services from schematic design through construction administration.

COMPLETED UNDER A MATOC CONTRACT

This project and a subsequent F-22 Weapons Load Training Facility were completed as task orders as a subconsultant to Davis Constructors & Engineers under a 2007 MATOC contract.
