C&S was the architect, engineer, and construction manager for a landmark $45 million renovation and upgrade to the passenger terminal at Syracuse Hancock International Airport.
A new exterior façade and canopy boldly brand the airport and bring natural daylight into the terminal. The front lobby was updated with modern finishes, and in the main terminal lobby, free-standing kiosks make amenities easily accessible. Aged escalators and elevators were replaced with new glass-walled elevators and shafts.
A new Regional Aviation History Museum features local aviation milestones and contributions and displays large pieces of aviation equipment.
C&S was the architect, engineer, and construction manager for a new terminal building at Griffiss International Airport that includes two separate facilities joined by a connective corridor.
The new terminal creates a more aesthetically appealing public face to the airport for users. A “modern rustic” aesthetic highlights the airport as a gateway to the Adirondacks. The building placement accommodates future expansion and the potential addition of a commercial terminal building.
With a fast-track timeline for owner occupancy, C&S’s full-service team completed design in under three months.

This building is a strategic piece to the economic development puzzle not only here at the airport, but in the entire region.

I would put this FBO facility up against any in this country. ” “

C&S designed and provided construction administration for a new 7,000-square-foot, two-story terminal building adjacent to a 14,000-square-foot maintenance hangar for Genesee County Airport. The new facilities are welcoming, modern spaces for visitors and tenants. A build out was included for a future restaurant tenant, which the airport will seek to attract. The project was designed and modeled using building information technology (BIM) in 3-D, which ensured more accurate construction drawings and the ability to use the model for future building additions or facility management systems.
Both facilities were designed with sustainability in mind, using natural daylighting; native vegetation for landscaping; and recycled, local materials.
This project received the 2016 Phil Brito Project of the Year Award from the New York Aviation Management Association.
C&S was the architect, engineer, and construction manager for the $20 million terminal expansion and renovation at Ithaca Tompkins International Airport.
The first phase included a 7,100-square-foot expansion to house enhanced baggage screening and make-up space, relocation of and upgrades to offices, building utility systems upgrades, entrance canopy improvements, and retrofit and relocation of one existing and installation of three new passenger boarding bridges.
Phase 2 added 8,500 square feet for an enhanced passenger screening and holding area, additional conference space and a baggage conveyance system, restroom renovations, LED lighting, new geothermal well field and HVAC system, and solar canopy-covered parking.
C&S led a multi-phase project to modernize the terminal building and enhance the passenger experience at Albany International Airport. The project was fast-tracked over four months to meet an aggressive construction completion schedule.
Renovation of the “Times Square” area, which houses the main concessions spaces and is the central hub of the post-security passenger circulation, included new flooring, updated seating areas, and new wood ceiling.
An existing concession space was renovated to provide an interior pet relief room and wayfinding and signage is being replaced. Other improvements include HVAC upgrades and replacement of escalators, renovation of toilet rooms, and new roof assembly and photovoltaic array.
C&S designed and managed construction of a new 14,000-square-foot facility that accommodates all vehicles and administrative staff at Hudson Valley Regional Airport.
The building has indoor parking for two ARFF vehicles, two plows, a snow blower, and a lift for maintenance. There is space for work benches and tools as well as an oil storage room and access to a storage mezzanine, shower and locker facilities, and a turnout storage and decontamination room.
The office wing has space for large training sessions and a general break room.
The large, curved roof of the garage bays is offset by the lower administration wing and the exterior comprises varying scales and types of metal panel over a CMU base to create visual interest and is durable and easy to maintain.
C&S completed a preliminary study with multiple layout options to help establish a baseline project that best aligned commercial general aviation hangar storage and office space needs at Lehigh Valley International Airport with budget available. The result included a 53,000-square-foot hangar with a 3,500-square-foot office support space.
The hangar is a single slope, pre-engineered metal building designed to house three Class III aircraft for storage and maintenance. The hangar floor area remains free of interior columns for maximum flexibility and is epoxy resin coated with perimeter walkways.
The office space is designed around a common use lobby and reception area with individually secured office spaces to allow flexibility of leasing.
C&S was the architect and engineer for the complete re-design of the old Flight Services building at Long Island MacArthur Airport to accommodate all operations of ground transportation.
The interior is arranged around an open concept for passengers who have access to all services from a central location. The perimeter houses counter and office spaces for rental car agencies and taxi services, while self-serve kiosks exist for others.
Work also included a covered canopy of the re-oriented drive between the building and the terminal and consolidation of multiple parking lots to expand capacity for storage and pick-up/drop-off of rental cars.
