Hughes Space and Communications Group

Projects (1983-2000)

Client: Hughes Aircraft

TWG provided facility planning/architectural services to Hughes Space and Communications Group for numerous projects from 1983 (as an independent entity) until 2000 (shortly after its incorporation into Boeing, GM and Raytheon). The work included lab spaces, special testing areas, anechoic chambers, clean rooms, warehouse spaces, and large office spaces (both proprietary and DoD-secure). We completed the facility design for the first joint testing operation between GM and Hughes SCG: a high-tech testing and simulations area for new automotive products. Prior to that, we remodeled the offices and labs on three floors of Bldg. R-10 (totaling 65,000 sq. ft.). Typically, our work included space planning and architectural design, as well as coordination of electrical, mechanical, and structural engineers' design work. TWG also provided design for the installation of space simulation chambers at the Hughes Research Lab (HRL) in both of its Malibu and Torrance facilities.
