Development One provided design and construction administration services for a new Airbus A380 maintenance hangar for Qantas at LAX. This project was the first hangar constructed in the U.S.A. for the sole purpose of servicing an A380 airplane. The design included adjacent shops on the ground and mezzanine levels. This project required intense coordination between the Qantas, the General Contractor, LAWA, and the Federal Aviation Administration.
