Southwest Airlines Cargo Renovation at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport

Southwest Airlines moved into Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and renovated an existing 27,000-square-foot warehouse to accommodate their cargo receiving and shipping demands. The project included adding offices, conference rooms and locker rooms for their staff.

To meet a tight deadline at the nation’s busiest airport, GRAEF partnered with Whiting-Turner and utilized design-build project delivery, reducing the project schedule by over 30 percent compared to a traditional design-bid-build Project. GRAEF performed project management, architectural services, and mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural engineering design.

The project was completed on time and within the $1 million construction budget.
