LEO A DALY was selected to provide concept designs and programming for Delta Air Lines and AeroMexico’s new joint maintenance facility in Queretaro, Mexico. We teamed up with contractor GMI to create an innovative, cost-effective, and low-maintenance design for the 500,000-square-foot joint facility. Using GMI’s innovative hub-and-spoke space frame system, designed for clear spans, construction costs were kept low and future upkeep to a minimum. The three-hangar concept provides for up to nine narrow-body aircraft positions, or four larger, wide-body aircraft positions.
One of the largest design-build projects in Mexico, the development includes three hangars, new landside access service drives and loading docks, support shops and mechanical rooms, personnel support spaces, a recreation building, and an executive/administrative suite. In addition to programming and concept design, the firm incorporated numerous sustainable design strategies, including photovoltaic solar panels that generate 75 percent of the facility’s power, daylight harvesting, rainwater capture systems for gray-water reuse, aircraft-wash wastewater recycling, and the use of locally manufactured materials where possible.
