US Air Force Academy Large Vehicle Inspection Station

The Large Vehicle Inspection Station (LVIS) provides administrative and indoor inspection capabilities for the inspection of commercial vehicles entering the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA). The LVIS, located outside the security perimeter of the Academy, is designated as the commercial vehicle point of access and is readily accessible to the commercial traffic via Interstate 25 and North Academy Boulevard. The building allows for the inspection of commercial vehicles and administrative support functions. The new facility allows traffic to move more freely by segregating the commercial traffic from Privately Owned Vehicles and provides security personnel a dedicated and ideal environment to process commercial vehicles in an efficient and thorough manner. The project required RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer) credentials which we provided. We also participated as a Federal Small Business Self Certified Enterprise. Scope for this project included telecommunications design services and supporting infrastructure. This project was completed in 2013.

Update: This project has been nominated for the National U.S. Air Force Design Award!
