Smithsonian Institution • Dulles, Virginia
With three stories and 124,000 square feet of space, the new Dulles Collections Center and Hangar Swing Space at the National Air and Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center provides an expansive, climate-controlled environment for the storage of artifacts, exhibits, and display materials while NASM’s flagship building on the National Mall is undergoing a multi-year modernization. The facility will also serve as swing space for the institution’s future renovations, as well as general storage for collections throughout the Smithsonian portfolio.
The building features three large open collection spaces sized at three stories and approximately 28,000 square feet each, as well as two dedicated environmental chambers (one cool storage and one cold storage) for items that require special conservation measures. Facilities also include smaller collection rooms, support spaces, and new stand-alone mechanical heating and cooling plants.
The energy-efficient HVAC system design includes:
