Built for Flight.
Clear span hangars for unrestricted aircraft movement. Rapid construction to minimize revenue loss. Natural daylighting that reduces operational costs.
Maintain Your Fleet.
Whether you're protecting aircraft assets or expanding cargo operations, aviation facilities face unique demands—rapid construction timelines that minimize revenue loss, Clear Span requirements for unrestricted aircraft movement, climate control that balances operational needs with energy costs, and customizable access configurations for varied aircraft sizes.
Legacy's custom hybrid structures solve these challenges through single-source design-build processes and proven structural engineering. From commercial airlines to military installations, our buildings deliver the unobstructed space, rapid deployment, and operational flexibility aviation demands.
What Type of Aviation Building
Do You Need?
Roof-Only Pavilions
Best for: Weather protection over maintenance areas, open aircraft storage, equipment coverage
White PVC cladding has 12% translucency and can allow for natural daylight, reducing artificial lighting needs. Solid I-beam steel construction supports heavy hanging loads including hoists and cranes. EpoxxiShield™ corrosion-resistant coatings withstand moisture exposure common in aviation environments.
Enclosed & Uninsulated
Best for: Aircraft hangars, cargo facilities, MRO operations
White PVC translucent cladding has 12% translucency and can admit natural daylight during daytime operations. The robust steel framework supports overhead cranes and specialized aviation equipment. Steel structure accommodates any exterior wall façade to meet airport design standards.
Enclosed & Insulated
Best for: Climate-controlled MRO facilities, premium aircraft storage, administrative spaces
ExxoTec™ PVC interior cladding creates a bright, clean aesthetic for precision maintenance work. Steel I-beam construction supports bridge cranes and heavy equipment loads. R-30 fiberglass insulation available for climate-controlled operations.

Solve Your Biggest Aviation Challenges
Legacy facilities address aviation-specific requirements through custom engineering and proven construction processes.
-
Construction Timeline Pressure
Extended construction delays mean lost revenue—aircraft grounded, maintenance schedules disrupted, cargo operations stalled, and expansion timelines that stretch 18-24 months with traditional construction methods.
Single-source design-build process eliminates contractor coordination delays and supply chain bottlenecks. Factory-trained installation crews deploy globally with proven safety protocols. Aviation facilities typically install faster than conventional steel structures, getting operations revenue-positive sooner.
-
Unrestricted Clear Span Requirements
Interior columns restrict aircraft movement, limit maintenance configurations, and create operational bottlenecks that reduce facility efficiency and flexibility.
Clear span interiors exceeding 300 feet with zero interior obstructions provide unrestricted space for aircraft of any size. Configure maintenance bays without structural constraints. Accommodate fleet changes or operational expansion without facility modifications. Move aircraft, equipment, and personnel freely without navigating around columns.
-
Climate Control & Energy Costs
Traditional metal hangars with opaque roofing require extensive artificial lighting and struggle with temperature extremes that increase energy consumption and operational costs.
White translucent cladding admits diffused natural daylight, reducing artificial lighting needs during daytime operations. Thermally non-conductive envelope naturally moderates temperature extremes compared to metal structures. Optional insulation packages available for operations requiring climate control. Passive ventilation systems reduce mechanical system demands.
-
Heavy Equipment Integration
Modern aviation facilities require structural support for bridge cranes, monorails, specialized maintenance equipment, and overhead utilities that demand significant load capacity.
Solid steel I-beam construction provides reliable structural engineering for heavy hanging loads including bridge cranes, aircraft hoists, and specialized aviation equipment. In-house engineering team designs load calculations specific to your equipment specifications. Proven track record supporting complex mechanical systems in MRO facilities and cargo operations.
