Scope Of Work
The Dane County Regional Airport boasts an exciting and diverse past including a design that replicates the prairie style architecture synonymous with Wisconsin’s prodigious Frank Lloyd Wright. Originally activated as a military installation for WWII and the Korean War, the airport was renamed Truax Field in 1942 to commemorate local aviator, Lt. Thomas L. “Bud” Truax.
Fittingly, Friede & Associates contributed their own stroke of brilliance to Truax Field in the form of a 7,200-square-foot pre-engineered metal aircraft hangar for North Central Aviation, Inc., which offers chartering services, maintenance and management of privately-owned aircraft.
