Blurring the lines between art and practicality, the students' work reflected Schnoedt’s encouragement to design big within the realms of possibility.

The Virginia Tech Montgomery Executive Airport - which originated, according to local history, in a farmer’s pasture nearly 110 years ago - is now able to accomodate most corporate jets with its 2020 runway expansion. But what if that included commercial air travel? I wanted to create a space that departs from the norm. Airports are meant to be exciting and unique. They are in many cases a traveler's first impression of a place, so I believed that the design of the Virginia Tech Montgomery Executive Airport had the responsibility of welcoming people into the university community and being a memorable part of their stay,” said Alexander Kuhn, first-year graduate student in the M. Arch. 2 program.When traveling, people are often required to spend a lot of time in a confined space prior to leaving for their destination. As the students were developing their designs, I asked them to think about what happens during the waiting time in travel. What makes a spatial encounter - especially at a small airport - memorable?” said Schnoedt. Heinrich Schnoedt, associate professor in Architecture within the College of Architecture and Urban Studies’ School of Architecture + Design, challenged students to design a facility for a future of commercial passenger travel at the Virginia Tech Montgomery Executive Airport.

The 10-week project was no simple task. It included developing a branding strategy for a regional airline and crafting plans for a remotely operated air traffic control tower and a new terminal building inclusive of commercial travel specifications.
