A Modern Gateway: Cape May Airport Terminal Building

The new 5,400 SF terminal building at Cape May Airport serves as a vital infrastructure upgrade for Lower Township, NJ. Designed to meet the evolving needs of the airport, the facility integrates modern fueling capabilities with essential administrative and public spaces. By utilizing mass timber, the project establishes a high-performance, welcoming environment for travelers and staff alike, creating a suitable facility for the airport's future growth.

Functional Integration and Future Readiness

The terminal is designed for maximum efficiency, housing a comprehensive suite of services within its 5,400 SF footprint. The interior program consists of professional offices, versatile meeting spaces, dedicated customer support areas, and an inviting lobby. This thoughtful arrangement ensures that the terminal operates as a seamless hub for both aviation logistics and passenger comfort.

Precision with Mass Timber Innovation

At the core of the terminalโ€™s structural identity is the strategic use of 2,800 SF of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT). The selection of a mass timber building system allows for a high-strength, dimensionally stable structure that aligns with modern construction standards. The integration of CLT and Glulam creates a warm, biophilic aesthetic in the lobby and public zones, distinguishing the terminal from traditional transportation infrastructure.

Project Highlights

Aviation Hub: Serves as a modern terminal with integrated fueling facilities, offices, and customer support.

Mass Timber Excellence: Features 2,800 SF of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) within a high-performance Type III-B structure.

Scalable Design: Specifically engineered to accommodate the future needs and expansion of the Cape May Airport.

Efficient Footprint: Delivers a versatile, 501-square-meter facility that prioritizes both operational flow and aesthetic warmth.
