A

rizona’s pride and joy, the Sky Harbor International Airport, is getting a makeover. The renowned airport — located in the heart of Phoenix, three miles southeast of downtown— serves nearly 40 million passengers every year and has 4

become a mainstream destination for travelers. With those numbers projected to grow considerably by 2019, the airport is undergoing an expansion project to accommodate the rising growth while also creating a world-class traveling experience for passengers.

M O D E R N I Z AT I O N PROJECT The need to expand Sky Harbor is clear. The day after the 2015 Super Bowl the airport set a one-day record for passengers.

Another record was set in March, when monthly traffic came in at a

staggering 4.25 million passengers.

To keep pace with growth in the area, the City of Phoenix has greenlit a five-year, $590 million designbuild project known as the Terminal 3 Modernization Program at Sky Harbor International. This project, which aims to accommodate the w w w. h u n t a u s t i n j v. c o m

HUNT AUSTIN expanding demand on the airport, will benefit generations to come.

The expansion will take place in three construction phases over a five-year period. The first will expand security checkpoints at Terminal 3, while the second phase will expand ticketing and baggage claim, concessions and passenger load and unloading areas. Finally, the third phase will add nine gates to the South Concourse.

Renovations include the South Concourse, which will feature a new passenger concourse consisting of a passenger level and an apron level for service and support functions.

Meanwhile, the North Concourse is set to undergo a comprehensive renovation of the passenger and apron levels including 10 gates, with an expansion at the mid-point as a ‘node’ to accommodate additional amenities.

HUNT AUSTIN According to Mason other collaborators included Dallas-based Corgan, an international leader in aviation, and The Smith Group, one of the oldest continually operating architects in the United States for the last 100 years.

“We looked to them as the design visionary, to bring the contextualization of Phoenix to the airport,” said Mason. “With everyone together it creates a unique a team. There’s lots of industry insight and collaboration going on, and I think it’s best for the project.”

“We had one of our design partners use their proprietary software to map the patterns of the sun during the year because we wanted to design the building so it could maximize light from the sun,” Mason said.

He added the project is also aiming to be LEED silver certified 12

CHALLENGES For HuntAustin, the primary challenge for the Modernization Program lies in the fact Terminal 3 has remained — and will continue to remain — in operation during construction.

“It’s kind of like performing heart surgery,” said Mason.
