Boeing’s new V‑22 Osprey production and support facility represents a major leap in aerospace manufacturing capacity, doubling the production rate for the joint‑service multirole combat aircraft. The project transformed a former steel mill warehouse into a state‑of‑the‑art, 171,000‑square‑foot advanced manufacturing hub that unifies critical assembly operations and brings Boeing’s “factory of the future” vision to life. The upgraded facility now houses two vital production lines supporting the Osprey CC‑RAM program.
What challenges did STV address?
Converting a heavy‑industrial warehouse into a precision aerospace manufacturing environment required extensive structural, mechanical, and operational upgrades. The project demanded tight coordination to maintain ongoing production, meet stringent aerospace manufacturing standards and deliver the facility on an accelerated schedule. The fast‑track phased approach had to minimize downtime while ensuring the new space could support high‑performance equipment and optimized assembly workflows.
What solutions did STV deliver?
STV provided full architectural and engineering design as well as construction management services for the design‑build program. Working within a compressed 12‑month schedule from design through construction, STV led phased implementation strategies to keep Boeing’s operations active while spaces were transformed. Our team delivered comprehensive engineering, value engineering and constructability reviews, and oversaw all construction‑phase services to ensure seamless integration of advanced manufacturing systems into the renovated facility.
How does this project benefit the region and industry?
The expanded production center strengthens Boeing’s ability to meet national defense needs and enhances U.S. aerospace manufacturing competitiveness. By modernizing an existing industrial site, the project also supported regional economic activity and job creation while delivering long‑term operational resilience for a mission‑critical aircraft program.
