In 2015, Burns & McDonnell and its partner national construction firm Gravity Company were selected to provide design-build services for the Braniff Centre’s executive terminal and its components.
Additionally, Burns & McDonnell was tasked to restore the façade of the base’s central atrium.
Burns & McDonnell aviation projects director Chris Hotop said: “While updating the structure to support contemporary aviation services, it was also crucial to protect its architectural integrity and historical legacy.
“Our design-build team created and executed a design that honours the rich history of the building’s past while embracing the exciting possibilities of its future.”
