    Custom Aircraft Hangars and Solutions to Keep You Flying

    Aviation demands perfection. Every delay costs money, every regulation matters, and infrastructure failures aren't just inconvenient—they're potentially catastrophic.

    Whether you need a secure aircraft hangar, a reliable maintenance facility, or a flexible MRO space, traditional construction methods often fall short on speed, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness.

    Legacy Building Solutions delivers innovative hybrid structures engineered specifically for aviation's uncompromising standards—where quality, timeline, and budget all matter equally.

    Aviation Demands Excellence

    Aircraft owners and FBOs stake millions on proper protection. Your aircraft deserve hangars that don't just shelter—they safeguard your investment with efficiency and style. Every day without proper storage bleeds money.

    Airport operators face impossible demands: maintain impeccable safety standards while controlling costs and planning for tomorrow's growth. Your facilities must accommodate everything from routine maintenance to complex MRO operations without compromise.

    Aviation architects and contractors understand the stakes—one miscalculation means project delays, budget overruns, and reputation damage. You need building solutions that deliver on impossible timelines without sacrificing quality or regulatory compliance.

    THE LEGACY ADVANTAGE FOR AVIATION

    Accelerated Timelines

    In aviation, time grounded is revenue lost. Our design-build process slashes construction timelines by weeks or months compared to conventional methods, getting your operations airborne faster and maintaining revenue flow. Our single-source manufacturing process reduces supply chain bottlenecks and contractor coordination issues, seamlessly delivering your project from concept to completion.

    Cost-Effective Solutions Without Compromise

    Don't sacrifice quality for affordability. Our innovative design approach delivers superior aircraft storage at competitive costs. Lower foundation requirements, reduced material costs, and faster construction timelines create compounding financial benefits that continue throughout the building's lifecycle through decreased maintenance expenses and energy savings.

    Energy Efficiency By Design

    Aviation facilities demand climate control that balances operational needs with energy consciousness. Legacy's hybrid structures offer superior thermal performance:

    • Natural daylighting: Our translucent fabric allows diffused natural light to flood the interior, reducing artificial lighting needs by up to 70% during daylight hours
    • Thermal non-conductivity: Unlike metal buildings that transfer heat and cold, our envelopes moderate temperature extremes
    • Optional insulation packages: Available for operations requiring precise climate control or in extreme environments

    Stunning Interior Environments

    Modern aviation demands workspaces that enhance productivity and showcase professionalism. Our structures feature:

    • Bright, clean interiors: White hybrid liners create a reflective, professional environment that improves visibility for maintenance operations
    • Improved acoustics: Hybrid structures that use fabric can dampen sound, creating a quieter work environment even during adverse weather conditions
    • Customizable interior systems: Integrate specialized lighting, ventilation, and equipment supports designed specifically for aviation applications

    Attractive Exterior Profiles

    Make a statement with a facility that projects innovation and excellence. Legacy structures offer:

    • Customizable exterior finishes: Choose from multiple colors, optional facades, and architectural features that complement your brand and location aesthetics
    • Clean, modern lines: Engineered with architectural appeal that stands out from utilitarian metal buildings

    • Branding integration: Incorporate logos, colors, and design elements that reinforce your identity

    Economical Clear-Span Design

    Our hangars provide uncompromised open space with spans exceeding 300 feet—all without interior columns that restrict aircraft movement and maintenance operations. This unobstructed environment maximizes:

    • Operational flexibility: Configure your space for multiple aircraft or adapt to changing fleet requirements without structural constraints
    • Maintenance efficiency: Position aircraft and equipment optimally without navigating around support columns
    • Future adaptability: Easily reconfigure your layout as your operational needs evolve

    Our buildings adapt to your specific aircraft profiles, equipment requirements, door systems, and workflow patterns—creating environments engineered specifically for your operational reality. 

    Our design team works directly with your stakeholders to incorporate specialized features, like enhanced ventilation systems for fuel and exhaust management, specialized lighting for detailed maintenance work, and reinforcements for overhead cranes and other critical equipment.

    Testimonials

    Legacy Building Solutions has given Solar Ship more than just a state-of-the-art hangar and assembly building.

    Through our close collaboration, their design incorporates a self-reliant photovoltaic power package that sits above the fabric roof, allowing our building operations to be entirely off-grid. In addition, Legacy’s foundation design allowed us to re-use an existing concrete pad, saving us time and money during construction. These innovations were part of our top-level requirements, and delivering on them really sets Legacy apart from the traditional building segment.

    Legacy was one of the only companies that could construct to that height.

    We needed a structure this big to be able to do maintenance inside, and we needed something we could erect quickly and meet all our requirements. Legacy was one of the only companies that could construct to that height.

    Legacy was the only one that could do a two-stepped building.

    Legacy was the only one that could do a two-stepped building, so we could have a high part in front …and then have it stepped down, so we stay out of the clearance zone.
