The Eugene Airport has long sought the expansion and modernization of the well-worn rental car service building known as a Quick Turn-Around Facility (QTA). The City realized that relocating the new QTA facility to the airport perimeter would allow for additional passenger parking to take the old building’s place near the terminal.
The QTA facility is key in the rental car process allowing teams to quickly process, clean, and refuel vehicles once they are returned. The new building houses three wash bays, as well as related staff and equipment support space, accompanied by a 12-station fuel and vacuum canopy.
Located near the main entrance to the airport, the facility needed to be designed to be much more than a standard utility building and canopy. The final facility layout optimizes vehicle queuing and efficiency while providing a cohesive composition of built forms responsive to solar access, prevailing weather, and expansion potential.
PIVOT collaborated with RS&H on the project.
The 89,000-SF site has improvements including detention swales, controlled security gates, and two 10,000-gallon, above-ground fuel tanks. There are about 50 parking stalls including equipment for EV charging.
