United Airlines Hangar & Terminal
Historical Restoration & Relocation
San Diego, California
The United Airlines Hangar and Terminal (UAHT) is a qualified historical structure located at the San Diego International Airport built in 1931 in the Spanish Revival style. The final environmental impact report (FEIR) in January 2020 identified the UAHT as one of several historic resources at the San Diego Airport. RNT served as the Historic Preservation Architect with Gensler at the Architect of Record to relocate and preserve the historic structure by disassembling it, placing it in temporary storage, and reconstructing it at a new location at the airport.
The biggest challenge was integrating the new structure with the salvaged historic components and providing tolerances and clearances to let the structure settle appropriately. Our team performed lidar and 3D scans of the existing structure, which informed our BIM process before disassembly so we could accurately catalogue the building’s components. We worked closely with the contractor in documenting the disassembly and selective demolition onsite to reveal hidden details where windows, hangar doors, roof and wall assemblies intersected. Capturing these connection details was critical to informing the reconstruction drawings.
Large Fire Crash Rescue Station at Travis Air Force Base
Travis AFB, California
As a Design-Build team member, Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects, Inc.

These planning studies were undertaken to assess the operational and planning issues currently identified by Eielson personnel and provide guidance to future development patterns within the South Loop area and will be integrated into next IDP/ADP update for Eielson. These included South Ramp and Taxiway Expansion; ANG Parking Apron Expansion: Base–wide Vehicular Circulation and parking; Main Gates and Security; South Loop Development Study and Fire Suppression Plan, Second Runway Feasibility;
and Power Diversity study for Replacement Power. The team’s fire protection engineer, Jensen Hughes, along with BWE civil engineers assisted AEWest JV in the evaluation and recommendations process which included a 2-day site evaluation and design workshop. The recommendations included cost studies and a phasing plan to account for both short- and long-term needs of the facilities while considering ongoing F-35 program implementation.
Vandenberg Air Force Base South District Plan Lompoc, California
As the lead planner for AEWest JV, a joint venture entity created to support an as-needed contract with the US Air Force, RNT worked closely with Vandenberg Space Force Base and key stakeholders to create the Vandenberg Space Force Base South Base District Plan. Located in Lompoc, California, this District Plan is part of the Space Force’s overall initiative to develop the Range of the Future (2028 ROF) for the East and West Coasts.
The District Plan serves as a foundational planning element for the South Base planning area of Vandenberg SFB, covering a 33,510-acre area. The planning area comprises three districtsSouth Mission, Arguello, and the Mission Development Zone located in the Santa Ynez District. The District Plan integrates mission goals, asset management principles, constraints assessment, requirements analysis, regulating plans to guide development, preparation of alternative planning concepts, and the development of a preferred plan.
Beale AFB Recce Center Remodel
Beale AFB, California
This projects scope consisted of renovating 14,000 sf of the existing Recce Point Club facility at Beale Air Force Base, as well as targeted improvements to the surrounding landscape. The current spaces are utilized as an event center, community center and Air Force (AF) club. Improvements include reconfiguration of existing spaces, replacement of ceiling and finishes, and improvements to electrical and mechanical systems. Energy efficiency improvements include a lighting retrofit and displacing electrical lighting with daylighting using tubular skylights.
The project realigns the entry sequence to create a true arrival point with a common pre-event space and makes improvements to circulation throughout the Club. The heart of the facility, the event center is reconfigured to have better proportions and the existing movable wall partition system is replaced by a system with better acoustic performance and with no loss of floor plan area dedicated to storage of wall panels. The event center also features a new design concept honoring the history of aviation and the role of Beale Air Force Base in our nation’s history.
Fairchild AFB Hangar 2050
Fairchild AFB, Washington
RNT provided a Conceptual Charrette Report (CCR) in support of renovating the Low Bay Maintenance Area Aircraft Maintenance Complex, Building 2050 (registered historical structures) at Fairchild AFB, in the State of Washington.
Low Bay Area Aircraft Maintenance Complex, B2050, Fairchild AFB. Hangar 2050 is a 10acre Hangar complex, consisting of four hangar bays surrounding a central Low Bay Hangar area, with two additional 3-story Administrative Annexes, known as the East Annex and the West Annex. The hangar, constructed in 1942, currently hosts the major maintenance and administrative functions required to keep KC-135Rs in a state of mission readiness. The primary missions housed within the annexes include AETC 373rd training detachment, with administrative, classroom, and practical training areas.
Vandenberg SFB Overhead Lines B1 and B6 Replacement
Vandenberg SFB, California
AE West was contracted to provide A-E design services in support of the Air Force Civil Engineer’s Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization (SRM) program areas, and other areas of essential support to design a replacement 15kV transmission line for Circuit B1 at Vandenberg AFB. The existing electrical circuit was beyond its operational life due to the coastal marine environment and extended years of service. The project includes demolition of the existing overhead line and poles, new ductwork and manholes, new circuit cabling, and new pad-mounted switches. The circuit will be routed from Switching Station B to the base’s Joint Space Operations Center. A-E west was initially contracted to replace the overhead line with concrete poles as part of the upgrade, but through a cost benefit analysis determined that undergrounding the line was preferable for maintenance, the separation of other utilities, security and reliability to better serve one of the bases mission essential facilities. The design work for the underground line was performed within the budget initially allocated for the overhead line redesign.
Additionally, AE West is designing a replacement 16 mile long 15kV transmission line for Circuit B6 at Vandenberg AFB. The project includes demolition of the existing overhead line and poles, new ductwork, new circuit cabling, new pad-mounted switches, overhead lines, concrete poles and associated risers. The circuit will be routed from Switching Station B to the base’s northern section serving multiple remote and mission essential facilities. The project is able to capitalize on a concurrent project designed by A-E west to underground a significant length of overhead transmission lines in the bases main cantonment, at significant savings before transitioning to an overhead line in the more sparsely occupied portions of the base. The project is currently at the 35% design level.
Luke AFB Title II Foxtrot Taxiway Repair
Carson AFB, California
RNT’s team performed Title II services in collaboration with Stanley Consultants, from their local Phoenix office. The team’s local presence leveraged existing relationships with AFCEC, the 56th Civil Engineer Squadron, and the construction contractor to work collaboratively and successfully complete the work. The project involved full pavement replacement of 2,100 linear feet of 75-foot wide taxiway with a 13.5-inch PCC pavement, 37-foot shoulders on each side (6-inch PCC), and 37-foot FOD cover shoulder extensions on each side (mill/ overlay with 1-inch ACC FOD cover). Inspection activities included concrete batch plant operations and trial mixes, grading & pre-pour formwork inspection, batching inspection (aggregate gradation, moisture, water, admixture, & slump test), finishing and curing operations, and cylinder breaks. Submittal review included schedules, mix designs, cement/ rebar mill certificates, aggregate, lighting, and signage submittals.
Title II services were performed by registered Professional Engineers and Inspection Personnel with extensive experience in horizontal construction and trained via the USACE Quality Control Management course. The team performed continuous on-site inspection of the contractor’s progress, and provided weekly and monthly management reporting of performance, schedule, cost, quality, and safety. Deficiency reports were issued when noted and followed up with one-on-one meetings with the construction superintendent. This collaborative working relationship enabled rapid resolution of issues and kept the project on track.
Davis Monthan Air Force Base, Stormwater Drainage Study
Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization | Davis Monthan AFB, Arizona
AEWest conducted a Basewide Drainage Study for Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The team analyzed the existing hydrology of the entire base and hydraulics of specific “areas of concern” identified by the Air Force and our field observations. For drainage infrastructure which did not meet the City of Tucson’s criteria for hydraulic capacity, conceptual improvement designs were proposed.
Electronics Warefare Anechoic Chamber Center, Hoist Crane Replacement
Edwards Air Force Base, California
This project provided the Edwards Air Force Base Electronics Warfare (EW) upgrade and installation design of the anechoic chamber center hoist in building 1030 on Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) in Edwards, CA. In particular, the design and specifications supported the Government in procuring a contractor in a design -bid -build (DBB) project to remove the existing 40-ton hoist in building 1030 and replace hoist with a new HECO 120-ton hoist that the Government had already procured through another contract. The design also included adjustments to circulation, structural, mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems.
The existing Radio Frequency performance in the anechoic chamber had to be restored and achieved in the new 120ton hoist enclosure. The 120-ton hoist enclosure had to be expanded to include a separate control room and security room, each of which had to comply with Radio Frequency requirements.
The design was completed on time, resulting in a construction budget below the initial Government estimate. The performance was CPARS rated as 'Very Good'.
NAVSEA Building Renovation & Adaptive Reuse
Corona, California
This project was the development of a Design-Build (DB) request for proposal (RFP) package to include the development of a 30% design, specifications, cost estimates, bid documents, and design and construction schedules for replacing Building 509 within its historic context.
Building 509 is located at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Corona in the Lake Norconian Club Historic District complex of the base. It was originally built as a hospital facility in Spanish Revival style, was remodeled in the 1960’s as an Ordnance Lab, and was remodeled again in the 1980’s as a computer facility.
Our design intent was to adhere to the Base Exterior Architecture Plan (BEAP) that aims to sustain the overall ensemble of the Base while creating a state of the art secure computer facility. We worked in close collaboration with the user and our engineering team to craft a design that respects the site’s historic influences while meeting functional and operational needs. The resulting design blends into the context of the site while leveraging contemporary design elements to give the building a distinct identity.
