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 terminal’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.

𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗲 continues its impressive 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 across 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮, showcasing its strength and beauty in projects like 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗻'𝘀 Manassas, Virginia plant expansion! We're proud to have supplied the 𝗖𝗟𝗧 and 𝗚𝗹𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗺 for this facility's new "front door" building, a crucial hub for security, executive meetings, dining, fitness, and respite.

A key design feature is the stunning mass timber coffer ceiling, constructed from 𝗴𝗹𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗺 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 and 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 and 𝟯-𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗟𝗧 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀. This unifying element extends from the exterior inward, providing structure for 27 ft tall ceilings and a warm, inviting atmosphere as a welcome respite for employees. Sustainability was paramount for this project, which is pursuing 𝗟𝗘𝗘𝗗 and 𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗟 at the 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹.

This incredible project was a collaborative effort with Carpentry Plus, Inc. (Installer), Sauter Timber (Glulam Fabrication), Western Wood Structures Inc. (Mass Timber Supply, CNC, and Modeling), Jacobs (Structural Engineer, Design Architect, and Architect of Record), and The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company (General Contractor).

Special thanks to our friends at Carpentry Plus, Inc. for sharing the excellent photos!
