Building a more modern, sustainable, and accessible workplace.

One of the most anticipated airport improvement projects is underway at the Northeast Philadelphia Airport (PNE). PNE is a general aviation reliever airport and part of the overall Philadelphia International Airport System that accommodates corporate flying, minutes away from the heart of Philadelphia. As part of ongoing infrastructure upgrades, PNE is embarking on a major renovation of its administration building—transforming every aspect of the facility into a more functional and modern workplace.

From architecture and interiors to electrical, mechanical, and security systems, this ambitious revitalization demonstrates PNE’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and employee well-being.

Modern, functional workplace

Reimagined for comfort, accessibility, and efficiency, these upgrades put employees first with a redesigned interior that optimizes workflow, thermostats in every office, and new access control and security systems.

Accessible & inclusive designs

In designing a building that works for everyone’s needs, the newest improvements ensure full ADA compliance with an updated main entrance, intuitive wayfinding, bicycle storage, and EV chargers.

Strong local collaboration

By collaborating with PHL and SEPTA, PNE’s local partnerships support sustainable, multimodal travel and reduced traffic congestion and parking demand to keep the region moving.

Going for LEED Gold 

Sustainability is at the core of the PNE administration building improvement project, which is why it’s designed to achieve LEED Gold Certification. It is also the first renovation pursuing LEED certification led by the Department of Aviation. Green design efforts include solar panels, low-flow fixtures, energy-efficient LED lighting, and a cutting-edge geothermal HVAC system.
