The 107,000-square foot facility, which includes an 84,000-square foot hangar and a 23,000-square foot annex with associated support space, is able to house four large multi-engine aircraft, such as the C-130 cargo aircraft or the P-3 maritime surveillance aircraft. The Greenville County Council approved a bond issue in 2001 to fund the construction of the $8 million hangar.

"This facility expansion will allow us to build on the tremendous success our aircraft center has achieved in recent years," said David Posek, LMALC president. "The hangar will provide us the facility capacity necessary to take advantage of the growing opportunities in the government aftermarket aircraft business."

Lachanos Architects designed the hangar, and Morris Construction Company built the facility. Engineering on the project was performed by W.K. Dickson.

LMALC's Greenville Aircraft Center now has hangar space for up to 33 aircraft. Since 1984, the company has expanded its hangar space from the original 17 aircraft bays at the former Donaldson Air Force Base. It also built a $12.4 million aircraft paint facility at the Donaldson Center in 1999.
