The Special Operations Facility (SOF) Hangar at the Laguna Army Airfield expanded the operating facilities by constructing a new SOF Hangar building designed to house fixed-wing aircraft for both operations and maintenance.

The second award-winning project was the P-391 F-35 Maintenance Hangar Project at Naval Air Station Lemoore (pictured above), a design-build effort that supported the extension of the recently constructed Hangar 6.
