The design of the Port of Entry - Calexico is both welcoming and formal. The inclusion of a PTFE fabric membrane roof by Birdair allows the design to be compatible with the regional styles of both California and Mexico. The Port of Entry consists of multi-cone toll canopies that are functional in the California climate but also artistic in their design.
