Project description: A new airplane hangar is in the works on the grounds of the Springfield-Branson National Airport. A representative of the architect says the modern aircraft hangar consists of three hangar lease spaces for private aircraft, plus integrated lounge facilities. The architect’s representative adds that the design’s stepped roof is intended to allow for an abundance of natural light in the interior, and the building integrates vertical-lift hangar doors to access the interior. The hangar will occupy land lease property of Prime Inc. on the grounds of the city-owned airport, according to project officials.
