Tyndall AFB, Florida

Hurricane Michael decimated the majority of Tyndall AFB in October 2018. The Air Force has since made it a mission to design “The Base of the Future”. SLA was the Architect of Record for the Marina Rec. Center which required special wind and storm surge provisions to be incorporated into the design to withstand future hurricanes on all new facilities. The two-story facility houses a new restaurant and indoor game area, outdoor seating and observation decks, a retail store, storage, and admin space. The building is designed to house two major functions, each within its own wing, connected through a shared elevator lobby space and breezeway.
