World Headquarters Operations Control Center

Graf & Lewent Architects worked with Atlas Air to develop a comprehensive, “from the ground up” approach to the design and organization of its 120,000 square foot World Headquarters. A comprehensive space analysis was prepared, based on in-depth interviews with key department heads, while assisting Atlas with the evaluation of alternative sites. Key concerns for Atlas were the development of a state-of-the-art Operations Control Center and effectively integrating the critical support departments which radiate from the Control Center.

The schedule for the project was intensive and fast-tracked: Design and full construction documents were completed in about two-and-a-half months. The design incorporates free-flowing “creative,” and “quiet” spaces, as well as many spots for impromptu meetings and discussions, to help support the fast-paced Atlas work environment. A bold color scheme, large-scale graphics and careful appointments in key spaces allow this facility to make a positive statement about this rapidly growing carrier.
