China General Aviation Co. (CGA) is located at the southern end of runway 34L at Tianjin Binhai International Airport, TSN. The CGA HQ campus consists of twelve buildings and has convenient access to the general aviation parcel of the TSN airport. The large campus of China Civic Aviation University is directly across the street to its south. A winding creek borders its western edge, providing a good nature’s touch. Most facilities were built in the late 1950s and need a major improvement.


SAAN provided a master plan for the entire HQ campus and architectural and interior design of the centerpiece building: the corporate center building. The face-lift will include adding an elevator, a glass exterior envelope from the 2nd to 5th floors, and a new roof. The interior is entirely redone to accommodate CGA’s corporate offices, exhibit spaces, conference rooms, and training classrooms.


SAAN’s new master plan establishes three different sequential spaces as visitors enter the campus: a front welcome corporate plaza with a glass water sculpture and fountain, an open civic lawn connecting all public buildings, and a tree-lined intimate garden for pilot apartments and staff housing towards the end of the campus.
