Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW Airport) required a new headquarters facility to consolidate 525 employees from 10 buildings and various departments. The 154,000-SF, three-story office building and parking garage feature multiple public entries and an access-controlled employee entrance. Each floor is approximately 51,000 SF and arranged in two wings. Public spaces include a state-of-the-art board room, employee training facility, high-tech conference centers, employee dining area, and an employee gymnasium. The adjacent parking structure is composed of cast-in-place concrete and has three stories with 520 parking spaces.

 

The building’s open-office environment was designed to improve communication, collaboration, and efficiency. The building was designed with an emphasis on employee “mobility.” Therefore, a high-bandwidth Wi-Fi system was designed. Employees can move from office/cubicle spaces to other rooms within the building with laptops or other mobile devices and retain connectivity to the network. The board room, in which public meetings are held, features an elaborate audio/visual system that culminates in a video wall on which presentation materials are projected.

​

Conference rooms were designed with advanced audio/visual systems based on video conferences with internal and external parties. Employees can seamlessly share laptop and mobile device screen content to the flat panel monitors via the Wi-Fi network. This facilitates enhanced collaboration and employee efficiency. As an independent initiative, DFW Airport installed Microsoft’s Lync system, which provides a unified communication platform that enhances communication.
