The Signature Fixed Based Operations Center at McCarran International Airport is designed with an awareness of being the visitor’s first and last impression as they enter and exit the city of Las Vegas. The charter flight terminal is designed to convey images of the aerospace industry and heighten the visitor’s arrival by showcasing views of the city. Curved metal-encased forms emulating aircraft wings and tails define the floor plans and sections. An elongated curved face greets visitors as they move through the building to transportation waiting on the other side. The spacious glass lobby provides an opportunity to contemplate the travel ahead or reflect on the city behind.
