Dedicated to educating the public on the role air power has played in preserving the American way of life since World War II, the Palm Springs Air Museum is undergoing a major transformation from a local attraction to a first-class destination with two new building additions, including a multi-purpose room and gift shop with corporate offices.

HED's design provides appropriate enlargements to these areas, including queuing and ticketing to allow for a better pedestrian flow and a more comfortable visitor experience. The facade design was inspired by the blades of a turbine engine in conjunction with a 'nod' to Palm Springs' Mid-Century Modern architecture. The modern facade is not only an aesthetic upgrade, it shields and protects the historical archives of aviation in their appropriate war-era hangar environments.
