American Airlines Trinity Campus

Background & Project Details:

The Six-building office complex off Trinity Boulevard in Fort Worth and is expected to house more than 7,000 administrative employees. It will join a 300-acre campus that will include many of American’s training and operations facilities, including its flight academy, integrated operations center, reservations center, Employee credit union, and conference center.

The project features 35ft tall trapezoid/sloped window coverings. Extensive design and planning by Hunter Douglas Architecture, along with Somfy's full range of RS 485 AC motors.

Project scope - 4 Main buildings, East and West Wing, Cafeteria/Town Center

Why Somfy?

Utilizing the full range of Somfy motors, project needs were exceeded with high torque motors and minimal noise (decibel) levels. This solution was well accepted and used on coupled, tall, motorized roller shades.

The Team

The project is highlighted by a group effort from the SNABA management team, the project services team, regional sales managers, and the commercial specification team. The Somfy team worked with Hunter Douglas subsidiary AWS, which designed and manufactured the very complex shades for the trapezoid and slope-shaped windows on the project. Marek Brothers, Hunter Douglas and Somfy were involved in the planning and design as well as project meetings which assisted in winning this project.
