EPPS Aviation’s Hangar 2, Atlanta

Taylor Architecture Inc. used a metal building system in its design for EPPS Aviation’s Hangar 2 addition. EPPS Aviation is a fixed-base operator (FBO) at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport in Atlanta. The hangar expands one of the original buildings of the U.S. Naval Air Station Atlanta, which operated from 1942 to 1959. Taylor Architecture designed the building to combine the airport’s historic architecture with the modern appearance of the FBO’s facility. The 4,374-square-foot hangar houses a museum for the company.

To construct Hangar 2, P.R.O. Building Systems Inc., general contractor for the project, erected Vulcan Steel Structures Inc.’s metal building system. At the roof, McElroy Metal’s curved, 24-gauge Maxima standing seam roof system with a Kynar finish was installed.
