The Alaska Airlines (Alaska) Copper River – Phase 1 project involved the concurrent build of a six-story, 130,000 square foot Class A office building, an eight-story, 255,000 square foot parking garage, and intricate custom landscape and hardscapes on Alaska’s seven-acre site. The complex is across the street from the corporate headquarters and adjacent to its flight training center. This project kicks off the start of several phased construction projects built to connect those working across the Alaska Airlines campus, bringing frontline workers together with the corporate employees and leadership. The new LEED Silver office building accommodates approximately 600 employees and houses the Seattle-based airline’s 24/7 operations facility and other business functions.

The building has open office design concepts with several team huddle and meeting rooms and various-sized multi-purpose and conference spaces. “Tilden Hall”, the two-story atrium space, is dedicated to the longtime CEO, Brad Tilden, and is utilized as a work-flex space in addition to a large meeting area. The office building features a wood-clad grand staircase with stadium seating and a decorative steel and wood glulam intercommunicating staircase on levels two through six. The project also includes the newly built retail store and uniform fit center, providing new and existing employees a centralized location to try on and customize their new uniforms.

The parking garage structure includes 800 stalls and a façade designed to mirror the architectural features of the office building.
