Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems

Projects (1985-Present)

Client: Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems

During World War II, Northrop produced the lethal Black Widow, the first U.S. aircraft designed specifically for night combat – demonstrating an early understanding that as modern warfare changes, so must its weapons. TWG has designed manufacturing, research and management spaces for NGAS since 1985 through today as the manufacturer of U.S. aircraft carriers sweats the small stuff, as in nano-small, the scale of cyberwarfare. One recent management/office project involved gutting and renovating an existing 120,000 sq. ft. building. The design incorporates the client’s need for a secure presentation room with tiered seating for 70-plus and a video wall comprising of 12 LCD TV monitors. Construction was split into two parts as was the space itself, requiring both the architect and the general contractor to work with extreme caution in one half of the building while the other remained occupied. Construction also included the abatement of all asbestos-bearing materials within the shell interior.
