Project Details

Woolpert was selected by the Ohio Air National Guard to prepare a concept and development design for its munitions maintenance and storage complex. In addition to the obvious challenges inherent to the explosive nature of the facility’s functions, Woolpert also had to take into consideration the site’s proximity to airfields and high security requirements. Tasked with creating a design that met the OANG’s needs and fit within the specific space, Woolpert developed a complete design for the 20-acre complex.

Woolpert’s design encompasses five buildings that adjoin the 180th Fighter Wing airfield. In planning the complex, Woolpert gave special consideration to the protection of the nearby mature oak grove and wetlands. Additionally, Woolpert is designing (and creating supporting documentation for) several of the buildings according to USGBC LEED® Silver certification standards. Incorporating alternative energy sources such as photovoltaic fields and solar hot water systems, Woolpert’s design for this munitions maintenance and storage complex meets OANG’s needs while minimizing public power consumption.
