One campus, one team: 1.56 million sq ft next to DFW Airport
Pelli Clarke & Partners designed the campus around American's idea of “One Campus, One Team”, bringing frontline and management teams to one site. Skyview 8 — four buildings joined by a Town Hall with shared spaces, dining and wellness amenities — is its heart. Inside, aviation is the décor: a 160-foot sculpture shaped like an airplane contrail, made of carbon fiber by maintenance technicians in Tulsa, hangs over the dining area, and a real Boeing 757 engine cowling is a place to sit for a photo.
