PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Museum of Flight's Aviation Pavilion is one of the world's largest covered, open-air gallery at just over 140,000 square feet. Located adjacent to the existing Museum of Flight, the Pavilion houses over 20 aircraft exhibits. The Aviation Pavilion is the fourth project to be completed for the Museum with the same Seneca Group development management, design team, and construction team. Early coordination between the architect, structural engineer, and contractor to design span-specific trusses resulted in major material and cost savings to the project.
