Gulfstream has invested more than $150 million in the 367,000-square-foot/34,000-square-meter facility located on the east side of the airport. The new building complements the main Savannah Service Center by adding more hangar space, offices, and back shops, all optimized for efficiency. This additional space allows Gulfstream to accommodate up to 26 more aircraft at any given time.
Gulfstream expects Savannah Service Center East to receive U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification for recycling at least 75% of construction waste and for its sustainable features which include energy-efficient lighting, enhanced control systems for heating and cooling, optimized energy performance, low-emitting building materials, water-saving fixtures, electric vehicle charging stations and preferred parking for low-emission vehicles.
Originally announced in 2018, the multiphase Savannah Service Center East expansion brings Gulfstream’s total Savannah service footprint to over 1.1 million sq ft/102,000 sq m. Combined, Gulfstream’s Savannah service centers have a total of 10 hangars and the capacity to accommodate more than 85 Gulfstream aircraft at one time.
“Savannah, home to Gulfstream’s worldwide headquarters, is now our largest global service center location — this expansion ensures our dedicated team is equipped with the resources needed to further support our customers who are visiting this great city from around the world,” said Zimmerman.
Gulfstream Customer Support’s modernized service network also includes new facilities in Van Nuys, California; Appleton, Wisconsin; Fort Worth, Texas; Palm Beach Florida; Farnborough England; and the upcoming completion of the all-new Mesa Arizona service center.
