Iowa Air National Guard Building 254

Sioux City, IA

  • 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.
