One of the fastest growing airports in North America, the priority was to upgrade the outdated infrastructure while allowing the airport and security functions to remain in operation. This included seismic improvements and creating a temporary security checkpoint.
Subsequent phases focused on enhancing the airport experience for travelers
Some of these improvements include a new window wall system to bring in more daylight
The second floor administration offices are redesigned and include public meeting space; better wayfinding and new signage; new elevators; new finishes
The design explored a variety of ways to retrofit the space, ultimately deciding that interior versus exterior seismic upgrades were optimal
The office design eliminates the system ceilings, providing a loft-like exposed ceiling concept allowing for a more open and light-filled workspace.
Upgrades were made to interior space operations, security badging, parking permits, and lost and found.
