This new 4,000 square foot terminal complex replaces the outdated and undersized original on the opposite side of the airfield. As the gateway to Virginia's Eastern Shore for general aviation pilots and passengers, this new facility serves the functional needs of its users while expressing a modern aesthetic of the area's architectural tradition. The finished floor is raised three feet above the natural level grade to protect the building from water damage in heavy rains. A wrap around porch with a deep, overhanging roof element for sun and rain protection provides an exterior extension of the lobby for fair weather sitting and viewing of aircraft. Traditional materials such as pitched metal roofs, wood windows and a combination of cedar shingle and clapboard siding encase the facility.
