Gowen Field C-130 Hangar
Idaho Air National Guard • Boise, Idaho
The Idaho Air National Guard required a modern hangar to support its fleet of C-130 aircraft. The facility needed to integrate maintenance, operations, and support spaces within a highly functional and durable structure capable of meeting rigorous FAA, military, and security standards.
The facility was designed as a pre-engineered metal building with expansive clear-span bays capable of housing multiple C-130 aircraft simultaneously. As an architectural intern at CSHQA Architects, Mark contributed to the project's development, with the layout including dedicated maintenance areas, storage, and administrative offices to streamline operations. The design emphasizes durability with reinforced structural systems, heavy-duty hangar doors, and weather-resistant detailing. Coordination with mechanical and electrical systems was critical to support specialized equipment and safety requirements.
The new hangar provides the Idaho Air National Guard with a state-of-the-art facility that supports mission readiness and operational efficiency. The large-span bays, integrated maintenance and support spaces, and secure design ensure the building will serve as a long-term asset for military aviation operations at Gowen Field.
