The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) commissioned a new environmentally sustainable air traffic control tower at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. The tower, which is 157 feet tall, features a 750-square-foot cab. A 19,000-square-foot base building houses offices for controllers, technicians, and administrative staff, designed to support both current and future operations.
The new tower replaces the 75-foot structure originally built in 1975, meeting the demands of the airport’s growing operations. The tower adheres to the Guiding Principles for High Performance Sustainable Federal Buildings by reducing energy and water consumption, conserving resources, minimizing waste, and improving indoor air quality.
Currently, 41 FAA employees work at the facility, including 29 in air traffic services and 12 in technical operations. Technical operations staff handle the installation and maintenance of air traffic control equipment. Operational since late October 2024, the project was completed at a cost of approximately $73.4 million.
