Iowa Air National Guard Building 254

The renovation of Iowa Air National Guard Building 254 transformed the Squadron Operations building into a modern, energy-efficient space supporting the Global ASNT system and a dual Alert Facility
Innovative use of the building’s tall roof structure introduced varied ceiling heights, enhancing spatial experience and optimizing HVAC airflow and thermal comfort
Clerestory windows strategically bring natural daylight deep into the interior, reducing the need for artificial lighting and offering clear views of the flight apron for effective aircraft monitoring
Thematic design elements, including circular spaces and exterior facades inspired by the base logo “Home of the Bats,” reinforce the facility’s identity and improve thermal insulation for enhanced energy efficiency
Upgrades to the building envelope, including improved insulation properties, contribute to reducing HVAC loads and advancing sustainability goals
