PROJECT OVERVIEW
Who says racing stripes are only for sports cars? Hangars wear them well, too. This sleek facility pairs clean lines, a bold parapet wall, and custom-colored panels—an elevated yet simple upgrade that adds both height and presence on the ramp.
Centrex established an early GMP to lock in cost confidence and evaluated multiple delivery approaches, comparing a hybrid concrete tilt-up/PEMB structure against a conventional hybrid tilt-up/metal hangar to determine the best fit.
Project highlights:
-
24,000 SF executive hangar
-
5,000 SF lounge
The Centrex team delivered comprehensive design and construction services, plus sublease support to help the owner maximize the project’s long-term value.

AURORA AIRPORT
Aurora State Airport (KUAO), also known as Wes Lematta Field, is a busy general aviation hub located just north of Aurora, Oregon, and operated by the Oregon Department of Aviation. Originally built in 1943 as a WWII auxiliary field, it now supports nearly 95,000 annual operations, making it one of the state’s top four busiest airports. The facility features a 5,004-foot runway, a control tower with Class D airspace, and is home to more than 270 based aircraft. Aurora hosts several FBOs and major aviation businesses, including Van’s Aircraft, Columbia Helicopters, and Life Flight Network, and serves as a key training and corporate aviation center. A 20-year master plan is underway, with a full runway rehabilitation scheduled for 2025, reflecting the airport’s growing importance to Oregon’s aviation network.
