Suspended Unit
A year after opening our 28,000-square-foot Exploration Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we introduced its crowning feature—a stunning "exploded" AAON unit suspended above the lobby entrance. Designed in collaboration with Ekko Mobiles of Portland, Oregon, this installation features real AAON components arranged in an artful exploded view, offering a unique glimpse into the engineering excellence behind every system.
