DynCorp International Regional Headquarters

Fort Worth, Texas

The regional headquarters for DynCorp International sits on a 9.06 acre site in the Alliance Airport business park north of Fort Worth. The building is a double wing 62,500 square foot plate in two stories, totaling 125,000 square feet of office. It is surrounded by 480 surface parking spaces, providing a parking ratio of 4 spaces per 1000 square feet of building space. Constructed primarily of site cast tilt wall concrete panels and glass, the building is conceived as a grouping of smaller dissimilar parts, creating a village effect. This approach reduces the scale of the large exterior facades, and creates a varied character to the building. The two wings wrap a central double height entry lobby, which acts as the town square in the village metaphor. This main lobby provides the entry points to various office divisions, and houses the building’s passenger elevator. The sky lit double volume past the elevator enclosure invites the occupant to discover the stair leading to the second floor bridge connecting the two upper wings.
