CHICAGO, IL — EXP, a global engineering, architecture, design and consulting firm has been selected by the Town of Leesburg for a Design Engineering Services contract for Leesburg Executive Airport air traffic control tower (ATCT) in Leesburg, Virginia. The recent selection marks EXP’s 13th air traffic control tower in North America.
Leesburg Executive Airport records over 100,000 takeoffs and landings each year. The new ATCT will replace the temporary tower that has been in use since the remote tower system was discontinued in 2023.
“A new tower is critical to the safety of aircraft and residents in the community,” EXP Senior Project Manager Horeya Czaplewski, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP BD+C said. “We’re combining our proven ATCT design experience and decades-long understanding of FAA regulations to bring Leesburg a safe, operational and cost-effective tower.”
EXP is currently in various stages of design and construction for nine other air traffic control towers across the United States. The ATCTs include Duluth International Airport, Mankato Regional Airport, General Wayne A. Downing International Airport, Grand Forks International Airport, Gerald R. Ford International Airport, Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, El Paso International Airport, Des Moines and Salisbury Regional Airport International Airport.
The estimated completion date of the permanent tower is contingent on funding.
