Design Completed FY10
Construction Completed FY12

Entry Concept Perspective
The vision for MacDill AFB “…is an architecture of community that displays a high quality corporate image and blends the values and character of place into the environment.” The Davis Conference Center, located on Hillsborough Bay across from Tampa, was designed to be architecturally compatible with the buildings on base and specifically acknowledge “staff circle,” its Florida-Coastal style neighbor to the south. Blair Remy provided sub-area planning, charrette concepts, and design phase architectural services for this design award winner. The 33,000 SF conference center is a contemporary solution that houses a state-of-the-art auditorium with table seating for 150 participants and theater seating for 100 visitors. A secure multimedia room (SCIF) with A/V for 135 participants, eight flex-seating meeting rooms with plasma screens, pre-function space with kitchen/serving support, and a wing of the building devoted to work areas for distinguished visitors are just some of the elements programmed into the project. On the bay side, a large terrace with arbor allows for outdoor functions throughout the year and accommodates the Base’s Corona annual event.

The architects created a Hangar Complex to accommodate C-5 aircraft with full-in hangars and to consolidate all the back-up functions into a centralized location at the site area between Buildings 722 and 712 at Dover Air Force Base.

The proposed MXG Hangar Complex consists of six phases of construction over a period of 12 years. The six phases consist of three hangar buildings and three back shop or maintenance buildings. Each phase will be designed and constructed to minimize disruption in services and relocation of maintenance equipment and personnel.

Each hangar is approximately 89,000 SF including back-shops and is designed to accommodate a C-5 aircraft as a full-in hangar. The order of which back shop functions will be incorporated in each back shop phase will be determined by the existing buildings impacted on the current or next phase of the project.
