Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield Vehicle Support Facility
Beardsley Architects + Engineers partnered with VETCO Contracting Services, LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business, to deliver complete architectural and engineering design services for a new Airfield Vehicle Support Facility (AVSF) at Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield, supporting Ft. Drum’s Directorate of Public Works and the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade.
The facility features a 10-bay drive-through structure, creating 20 work bays for maintenance and repairs of critical airfield support vehicles. Oversized canopies run the full length of both sides of the work area for enhanced coverage in all weather conditions. The 26,000 sq ft work area includes a 10-ton overhead crane to handle heavy maintenance tasks efficiently. An additional 13,400 sq ft houses essential support functions such as welding, inspection stations, a wash bay, and recycling areas.
Beardsley’s scope included complete structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, information systems, and anti-terrorism/force protection design to meet rigorous Army standards.
The project was designed to achieve a Silver rating under the USACE Sustainable Project Rating Tool (SPiRiT), with sustainable features such as low-VOC building materials, optimized HVAC performance, and careful site selection to minimize environmental impact.
