Art Anderson Associates teamed with design/build partner Alutiiq International Solutions to upgrade facilities at Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island to accommodate the new E/A-18G electronic attack aircraft.  The project's objectives were to establish three new parking aprons with 400Hz electrical power and low pressure air systems, and modify, alter and repair various buildings to support the new aircraft, including the complete renovation of Hangar 8, a large, aging facility.  Art Anderson Associates was the Designer of Record and the lead A/E firm for this project.

The scope of work for design included civil, mechanical, electrical, structural and architectural elements.  Building upgrades included modifications to the fleet readiness center building, hangars and a supply warehouse.  Architectural review of one of the hangars included program planning to ensure mission requirements are supported.  The design of the 400Hz flight line electrical distribution system was a specialty design element being provided.

AAA developed a design quality control plan for inclusion in the overall quality control plan.  AAA also provided the services of a LEED-Accredited Professional to develop LEED evaluation and analysis and incorporate sustainable design practices where possible.
