MIDDLE EAST AIRLINES CLUB AND TRAINING ACADEMY

Professional Experience

BEIRUT Int’l Airport Road

Garduation Project 2002

Most of the airlines require months training for their flight and cabin crew in First Aid classes, flight simulators sessions, emergencies and services. The idea of this project is to provide an Academy that hosts flight trainers and trainees from across the world. Therefore the concept design of the main hall plan was inspired by the Radar figure.

Airbus industry which provides MEA with most of its planes, provided me with a booklet with the full details of planes mockup sizes and specifications in order to plan this project plans accordingly.

MEA current training college admits around 1000 trainee/year and this Academy should admit more than 5000 trainee/year. it also has the capacity to host overseas trainees with their families as it provides all entertainment features.

Since this academy hosts int’l flight and cabin crew, the concept of the main hall is inspired by Radar shape. The upper levels folllow the same round shape as we move up and they overlook the main hall design.

To experience the Radar, small glass kiosks are placed around the hall on a round white shaped lines and are spotted as signals by the radar

The concept consist of structure steel building and its a mimic of Plane bodystructure. It is entitled to host trainees from internationational airlines and provide many facilities including Training, Entertainment, Hostels, Library, Auditorium, Recreational facilities, Health Club, Amusement centerRestaurants, Swimming pool, Children playground, Vdeo Games and Snack Bar.

The project has an area of 50 000 m2, and is situated by the North side of South Beyrouth and on the East road of Eastern Sport City Road. It is 12 mns from Beyrouth Int’l Airport and in a zone designated for commercial Services and diverse activities
